The Spin

Trump's decisive termination of trade talks with Canada exemplifies unyielding America First leadership that protects workers. By ending lopsided negotiations, he shields U.S. industries from exploitation, and forces Canadian concessions on autos and lumber. This bold move revives American manufacturing and reasserts economic dominance.

Trump's petulant termination of trade talks with Canada is a dangerous outburst that shreds North American unity over a petty ad spat. This isolationist folly invites retaliatory tariffs, job losses and soaring consumer prices. The reckless move weakens crucial alliances and dooms bilateral prosperity for short-term bluster.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 4% chance that the U.S. will annex any part of Canada before June 3, 2072, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
