Coincidence with a leftist populist perhaps winning in Mexico? I think Trump realizes he would have no allies in North America and that would be hard to run on in the midterms.

President Donald J. Trump sent the following message to Her Excellency The Right Honourable Julie Payette, congratulating Canada on the celebration of its National Day:

“My sincerest congratulations go out to all Canadians as you celebrate your National Day on July 1.

“As neighbors and allies, the United States and Canada stand firmly together against threats to our shared democratic values and our freedoms and way of life.  Your partnership on the global stage, and your condemnation of autocratic regimes, send a strong signal in support of human rights, prosperity, and security around the world.  We treasure our close bonds.

“I wish you all well on your special day of celebration.”
