'Dangerous politics': Trump suspends joint defence board with Canada [View all]

[Swede]

The Trump regime is trying to bully Canada again. With this latest move, I think Canada-US relations are finished for decades.

That most undiplomatic of diplomats, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, has already warned of unspecified consequences for NORAD, if Ottawa does not buy 88 F-35A fighter jets. In this light, the “reassessment” of the joint defense board should probably be considered a warning shot across the bow.

Canada has been a good and reliable ally but that alliance has faded from memory in an increasingly unreliable Washington.

Also, the US ambassador and others were actively helping the Alberta separatists.
