Peter Zeihan: Why Trump’s Stance on Canada Makes Sense
The Trump administration’s tough stance on Canada isn’t as novel (or as arbitrary) as it may seem.
The US has always been cautious with neighbors on the northern border, from Britain in the past to modern Canada. This view follows the long-standing US strategic view that an independent power on the northern border could pose a security risk.
That caution is wise and should be applied to any potential economic integration as well. Merging the US and Canada might sound nice, but when you lift the hood…not so much. The US would be stuck with the financial burden of caring for Canada’s rapidly aging population.
