What Trump 2.0 Would Mean for Canada

10 Jul 2024

PRESENTATION OF THE POLITICAL AND GEOSTRATEGIC OBSERVATORY OF THE UNITED STATES Under the direction of Romuald Sciora, Associate Research Fellow at IRIS, the IRIS Political and Geostrategic Observatory of the United States aims to shed light on the presidential and legislative elections of 2024 and on developments in the contemporary United States, in particular their impact on Franco-American coo. [...] The Academy of Political Science, founded by Columbia University in New York, the Columbia-SIPA Urban and Social Policy Program and the Raoul- Dandurand Chair in Strategic and Diplomatic Studies at the Université du Québec à Montréal, are the Observatoire’s main academic partners. [...] Given that the majority of Canadian exports are destined for the United States, and that the health of the Canadian economy is heavily dependent on access to the American market, Trump’s economic nationalism would remain Canada’s biggest challenge if he regained the presidency3. [...] Trump may well take advantage of the moment when the US, Canada and Mexico will have the opportunity to request revisions to the agreement (date set for July 1, 2026), to try to obtain new trade concessions from Canada to the benefit of American workers4. [...] In recent years, however, the growing number of asylum seekers in Canada has prompted debate among Canadians about the country’s ability to offer them the services and living conditions they need, particularly in the context of the housing shortage and rising rent prices that plague many Canadian cities12.
