Our Canada bureau chief tells us how the countries got into a trade war and how people north of the border are experiencing the rift. The surprise trade war between the United States and Canada shows no signs of resolving any time soon. Yesterday, Canada announced its own retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. For his part, Donald Trump mused about renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America.” How did the relationship between what were once two of the world’s closest partners get to this point? My colleague Matina Stevis-Gridneff, our Canada bureau chief, just co-wrote a deeply reported story with our trade reporter Ana Swanson about how the talks between the U.S. and Canada imploded.
