Kelly Craft, former U.S. Ambassador to Canada, stands on the steps of the Barren County Courthouse to announce her candidacy for Kentucky governor in Glasgow, Ky., Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022.
Kelly Craft, Donald Trump's former ambassador to Canada, says the country should prepare for what could be a more antagonistic bilateral relationship with the U.S. if her old boss wins Tuesday's presidential election.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland sought to reassure Canadians Monday that the federal government is prepared to work with whoever wins the presidential election. Laura Dawson is a Canada-U.S. relations expert and the executive director of the Future Borders Coalition. The Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement is also up for a review in 2026. Craft said Trump is intent on making some changes to the trilateral trade deal he renegotiated.
With so much uncertainty looming, Canada has been preparing for a second Trump presidency for months. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne and International Trade Minister Mary Ng as his envoys on Canada-U.S. relations. "We have stood firm with Canadian businesses and workers in the past. We will continue to do that," she added when asked about Trump's trade threats. "Our defence of Canada and Canadian businesses is not going to be any different now."
Beyond trade, Craft said Trump will also want more help from Canada on the migrant crisis unfolding at the U.S. southern border, Craft said.
