Trump’s Criticism of Canada Linked to Leaked White House Memo

For­mer Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s harsh remarks about Cana­da, call­ing it a “nasty” coun­try and describ­ing Cana­di­ans as “dif­fi­cult” to nego­ti­ate with, have raised eye­brows. These com­ments, which seem per­plex­ing to many, are now thought to stem from frus­tra­tions over trade dis­putes and broad­er pol­i­cy dis­agree­ments rather than any per­son­al ani­mos­i­ty towards Cana­da or its peo­ple. Accord­ing to Hoek­stra, the blunt lan­guage used by Trump reflect­ed the tense atmos­phere around these ongo­ing issues, as detailed in a recent­ly leaked White House memo.
