Canada's key resource against Trump's potential trade war

Canada's key resource against Trump's potential trade war

Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Canadians have a key leverage point if President Trump makes good on his threat to impose 25% tariffs: oil. We talk to a business journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on why oil would be the "biggest arrow in the quiver" should Canada and the U.S. descend into a trade war — but only as a last resort.
