After trade talks between the U.S. and Canada collapsed in August, there were fears a new cold war would break out between the two nations that share the longest undefended border in the world.
The Trump administration imposed tariffs as high as 50 percent on Canadian goods, and Trump’s rabid trade adviser Peter Navarro warned Canada against interfering in the U.S. midterm elections or “it will pay even more dearly.” In response, the Canadian government announced retaliatory tariffs and let it be known it was reviewing the purchase of U.S. military equipment and even war-gaming hypothetical U.S. invasion scenarios.
