This week’s Friday Focus takes up the Trump tariffs on Canada. What are his motivations for threatening a 25% tariff on Canadian imports into the U.S.? How will American conservative politics and a G.O.P. that has shifted even further towards a MAGA “America First” agenda likely impact trade negotiations? What could be some of the economic motivations of a second Trump presidency bent on trillions of tax cuts while U.S. debts and deficits have exploded in recent years? Are Canadian policymakers attuned to these new political and economic dynamics or are we at risk of running a stale dated playbook on trade and tariffs ill-suited to the reality of the moment? In the program’s closing moments, Janice and Rudyard take up the ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel. How has the region been transformed by more than a year of war? Is a ceasefire in Gaza more or less likely in the weeks and months to come?
