Former Canadian PM Says Don’t Let Trade Dispute ‘Poison’ Canada-US Relations
Former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in an appearance on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that the U.S. and Canada are “the closest partners in the world” and need to focus on how much they have in common instead of focusing on temporary trade disputes.
”When we have those disagreements, we keep those disagreements isolated to the issues we’re disagreeing with because on other things…we’re on the same page,” he said. “We’re the closest partners in the world and you don’t want to see one particular dispute poison everything.”
Harper said he can’t understand why the U.S. is so focused on Canada as a trade threat. “Canada is the biggest single purchaser of U.S. goods and services in the world. It’s not China, it’s not Mexico, it’s not Britain, it’s not Germany — it’s Canada.”
The former Conservative prime minister who spent almost a decade in office said Trump should ask himself just who is audience is with his anti-Canadian rhetoric. “I don’t think even Trump supporters think the Canadian trade relationship is a problem.”
Harper said good relations between the two countries is “vitally important” to maintain national security in both countries.
Speaking to the historic meeting between the U.S. and North Korea, Harper also said although he remained “a skeptic” of North Korea’s intentions, he gave Trump “a lot of credit for bringing it this far.”
Harper also promoted his new book, “Right Here, Right Now.”

EU backs Canadian leader Trudeau after Trump's sharp words
BRUSSELS - The European Union on Monday backed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after U.S. President Donald Trump branded him "dishonest" and "weak" following a Group of Seven summit of leaders.
European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said the EU "stands fully behind" the joint statement issued at the end of the G-7 meeting at a resort town in Quebec.
Trump agreed to a statement on trade but withdrew from it later. He complained he was blindsided by Trudeau's criticism of his tariff threats during the premier's summit-ending news conference.
"The European Union will continue to stand up for an international, rules-based, multilateral system," Schinas said.
He added that EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker thanked Trudeau "for the excellent preparation and chairing of this challenging summit."
British Prime Minister Theresa May also went out of her way to thank Trudeau "for his leadership and skilful chairing" of what she called "a difficult summit with at times some very candid discussions."
Speaking to the House of Commons, May said the other G-7 nations "expressed deep disappointment at the unjustified decision of the United States to apply tariffs to steel and aluminum imports" and urged dialogue to avoid "tit-for-tat escalation."
