While many countries around the world are happy with Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential elections, tension is clearly visible in many countries. Similar tension is also visible in America's neighboring country Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is so concerned that on Thursday he re-established a special cabinet committee on Canada-US relations to address concerns about another term for Donald Trump. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau himself gave this information on Thursday.
What will the special committee do?
The chairmanship of the special cabinet committee formed by Canada has been given to the country's Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. He is also the Finance Minister of the country. The committee will also include other top officials, including the ministers of foreign affairs, public security and industry. A Cabinet committee will focus on key Canada-U.S. issues after President Donald Trump is elected to a second term in office, PM Justin Trudeau's office said Thursday.
75 percent of Canada's exports to America
In fact, Canada is one of the most trade dependent countries in the world. 75 percent of Canada's exports go to America. Donald Trump's move to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in his first term and reports that he was considering 25 per cent tariffs on the auto sector had put the Canadian government on edge. Deputy Prime Minister Freeland said Wednesday that I know many Canadians are concerned. But I want to say with confidence that Canada was absolutely fine. He said that we have strong relations with the United States. We have a strong relationship with President Trump and his team.
Trump has pulled it before too
Relations between Canada and America remain very good. However, Trump has also slammed Justin Trudeau many times. Canada has spent 1.33 percent of GDP on its military budget in the year 2023 while the demand is 2 percent. About 400,000 Canadians cross the world's longest international border every day and about 800,000 Canadians live in the United States.
