Why Carney says Canada could ‘wait Trump out’


After the U.S. midterm elections, is Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in a better position to wait out the Trump administration’s tenure to strike a trade deal with the next U.S. president?

“There’s no question that Carney and Canada are in a better, more comfortable position,” CBC News’ U.S. correspondent Willy Lowry told Compass Points host Nick Schifrin.

While Canadians hope this marks “the beginning of a return to the kind of America that they have long been close with,” there is “cautious realization that the relationship will never be what it once was,” Lowry says.

Compass Points from PBS News analyzes prominent international affairs topics and America’s role in a shifting world, breaking down global conflicts, rising tensions, and their implications for U.S. interests. Visit the PBS News website to watch this week’s episode.
