Scotiabank CEO Says Trump's Western Hemisphere Domination Will Be 'Good For Business' - Are You Kidding Me?

Scotiabank CEO Says Trump's Western Hemisphere Domination Will Be 'Good For Business' - Are You Kidding Me?

Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

In Canada-US politics news today, Us President Donald Trump told The New York Times that only “his own morality” and no laws could ever stop him. Meanwhile, the CEO of Scotiabank Scott Thompson explicitly endorsed Trump’s western hemisphere domination plans and takeover of the Venezuelan government, claiming it will be ‘good for business’. Is it good news for Canada, though?

Let’s take a look at some of Trump’s latest conquistador comments as well as what some global political leaders and analysts like Bob Rae, Steven Miller and (a presumably terrified, or totally obtuse) member of the Danish Parliament has to say.
