About this episode
Christopher Sands, director of the Center for U.S.-Canada Studies at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, discusses the breakdown of recent trade negotiations between the two countries. He analyzes the escalating tensions under the Trump administration, explores whether the hostility toward Canada is strategic or ideological, and discusses the deterioration of institutional mechanisms for bilateral dialogue. He argues both nations must separate rhetoric from reality and rebuild their relationship through renewed public engagement and strengthened institutional frameworks.
