Jennifer Welsh on Canada Surviving in the Era of Trump's Administration | TVO Today
March 11, 2025 |聽Director聽Jennifer Welsh聽spoke about Canada surviving under Trump administration on .聽Canada's foreign policy has long been influenced by the USA. So an important question arises now, how does Canada navigate in this new political climate? And how independent can Canada really become from the USA?
"What's different is the behaviour and I think what's differed...was the psychological element. Institutions rest on more than their former rules. They rest on the beliefs of leaders that they will hold, so in a sense Trump doesn't even聽have to formally withdraw from NATO. He can just begin to indicate that the US guarantee might not be credible. I think for聽us (Canada), we can't engage in wishful thinking. We don't know what will come next in terms of the next leader in the White House post Trump," explain Welsh.
