Canada needs task force to deal with unreliable, hostile U.S., report says

Canada must not rush into trade negotiations with the United States and must dramatically reduce its vulnerability to a neighbour that can no longer be trusted, a group of Canadian leaders in foreign affairs and business says.“The United States, under President Donald Trump, has become an unreliable partner. Its long-standing allies can no longer be confident that America will respect its commitments to come to their defence or respect its economic agreements. That is particularly true for Canada,” a new report by Expert Group on Canada-U.S. Relations says.
