In an abbreviated version of his usual rally performance — he entered, on cue, to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.,” his unofficial theme song — Trump made no mention of his presumptive rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.Article content As he often does, he mentioned Canada by name when he cited the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, signed in 2018, which replaced NAFTA: “the worst trade deal ever made,” as he described it.
Foreign countries “that hate us gravely” are perplexed by a U.S. reluctance to expand domestic fossil-fuel production even now, he said. A Trump presidency would be “a terrible situation for Canada,” warned Aaron Ettinger, a politics professor at Carleton University in Ottawa.“Trump back in the White House places uncertainty back at the centre of the North American relationship. And that is bad for Canada, because when access to the American market is uncertain, the Canadian economy suffers.
“You have two players with significant constituencies, both having political claims to be the next leader, going at it for all the marbles,” Ettinger said. “This is going to be civil war within the Republican Party.”Wyoming Sen.
