Donald Trump and the Canadian PM will meet today

The U.S.-Canada Relations After Carney’s “Elbows Up” Campaign: A reappraisal of a Canadian President

The meeting could be a chance to reset the relationship between the U.S. and Canada. “Canadians are really upset at the president of the United States.”

Carney’s willingness to stand up to Trump’s rhetoric was a big part of his appeal to voters, said Asa McKercher, a public policy professor at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia — describing the “elbows up” slogan adopted by Carney’s campaign. A hockey term is used to describe a defensive stance.

The leaders are likely to discuss trade during the meeting, but after that, the talks will only be the beginning, according to the news conference Carney gave last week.

It is shocking to see that the attitude toward the US has changed since Inauguration day as a result of initiatives taken by the Trump administration.

“President Trump single-handedly helped the Liberal Party recover from a very large popular-opinion deficit in Canada to win the election, ironically,” said Jon Parmenter, a professor of history at Cornell University.

The leader of the Liberal Party won the election in Canada because of concerns about Trump’s statements and the impact of tariffs on the country’s trade-reliant economy.

“He’s coming to see me. I’m not sure what he wants to see me about but I guess he wants to make a deal. Everyone does. They all want to make a deal because we have something that they all want,” Trump said.

Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of annexing Canada with the use of economic force. In an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker that aired Sunday, Trump said it was “highly unlikely” that the U.S. would use military force, but “it could happen.”

“I’ve been warned for months that our land, our resources, our water, and our country is in America’s hands,” said Carney on election night. “These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never happen.

The film and TV industry is confused by Trump’s announcement that he will impose a 100% tariffs on movies made outside of the US. The American film industry is dying fast, he wrote on Truth Social. The president said that incentives offered by other countries affect the film industry in the United States.

The Up First Newsletter: Making Abortion Harder in the U.S. Against a Federal Court’s Case against Mifepristone by Mail

The Justice Department asked a federal court to throw out a case they claimed could make abortion harder in the U.S. The case is challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s rules on the pills used for abortion. The Supreme Court last year rejected a challenge from a group of Christian doctors. Now, three states — Missouri, Idaho and Kansas — say they cannot ban abortion if residents can get mifepristone by mail.
