Trump vs Trudeau: Round #1
COURSE FULL. TO GO ONTO WAITING LIST, PLEASE E-MAIL US AT [email protected]
When Trudeau visited the White House in February, both leaders tried to portray the new relationship as business as usual (if not better, as Trump characterized it). Since then, the US threatened to walk away from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) unless major changes are made. The negotiations are crucial for Canada, which sends 75% of its goods exports to the US.
But Canada & the US are as different as can be on trade. One is led by a liberal who champions global trade, the other has pledged an “America first” attitude to trade. Will this be a fair fight? Are we into agreements with them, more than they are into agreements with us? Will we continue on a neo-liberal political stance or will we recognize the global populism trend. How would the NDP negotiate NAFTA? This course will look the status & the issues of the Trump/Trudeau negotiations in the fall.
