A trade war between Canada and the US further ruptures a once-close and durable alliance

The long-standing and durable alliance between Canada and the United States is facing one of its deepest crises in decades. A trade war has emerged following the collapse of trade talks between Ottawa and Washington, severely testing the relationship. For many years, Canada relied heavily on privileged access to the United States to build its national prosperity. This current conflict further ruptures a partnership that was previously considered one of the closest and most stable in the world.
