Trump's election win raises concerns for Trudeau's economic outlook in Canada
Donald Trump’s recent victory in the U.S. elections has raised concerns for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Their past interactions have been marked by tension, particularly over trade policies that negatively impacted Canada’s economy during Trump’s first term. Trudeau congratulated Trump but faces challenges at home, with analysts predicting that Trump’s strict trade policies could further harm Canada’s economy. Proposals like a 10 percent tariff on imports could lead to significant declines in real income and productivity in Canada. The relationship between the two leaders has been strained, with Trump previously criticizing Trudeau as "weak and very dishonest." Their differing views on social issues, such as LGBTQ+ rights and abortion, also highlight the ideological divide between them.
