Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Joe Biden are meeting face to face this morning as the North American Leaders' Summit begins in earnest.
The two have plenty to talk about, from lingering trade disputes over dairy markets and the auto sector to the embattled trusted-traveller program known as Nexus. "Far too often, we've acted as either three independent countries or two bilateral relationships. In today's world, that is going to leave us behind," Business Council of Canada CEO Goldy Hyder told the gathering.
"We almost lost NAFTA," Trudeau said,"talking amongst friends," as he thanked the group for the various roles they played in securing the new deal, known in Canada as CUSMA. Then there's Buy American, the long-standing, politically popular U.S. doctrine of preferring domestic suppliers over those of even the most neighbourly allies.
"Meaning, 'Let's view things as a bloc and as a region, and let's take things on together.' I hope it embraces it. But that would be different."Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard sang each other's praises as they together signed a joint declaration for racial equality.
