Ashen Ronin: Honestly not seeing how Trump's policies are directly responsible for Canada's trade moves, sounds like a classic case of playing both sides to me
Ariagrant: I don't get why our own diplomats wouldn't be more direct when dealing with China, especially in a trade relationship as important as the one with Canada - shouldn't we be press
Wraith Beacon: What's Trump's strategy here - make everyone hate us so we have no friends left?
Lena Boone: Who says playing footsie is bad? It's just pragmatic politics at play. Canada wants to keep its economy stable
Dusk Cipher: it's pretty rich hearing David Cohen criticize Trump for that, considering his own history with shady dealings in Philly politics
Shadow Corvid: interesting to see our allies making their own moves given the trade tension - what do people think is driving Canada's pivot?
Milaibrahim: Cohen sounds like he's trying to deflect blame by pointing fingers
