Trump says U.S. doesn't need Canada. What happens to CUSMA now?
Description
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine the turbulent state of Canada-U.S. trade relations following President Trump's assertion that the United States does not need Canada or a renewed CUSMA. They also analyze the shift from Prime Minister Carney's "sovereignty economics" toward a "Fortress North America" approach, exploring whether it signals a recognition of Canada's limited options.
In the second half, they critique the Carney government's embrace of state-directed capitalism, questioning whether state-led industrial policy can deliver economic growth or if market-based solutions remain superior despite global trends toward greater government intervention.
