CNN —Donald Trump is stoking political mayhem in Canada by intensifying a crisis that threatens to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. In a searing resignation letter, Freeland, a longtime Trudeau loyalist, effectively accused him of promoting frivolous policies that would leave Canada badly exposed to Trump. !”With Trump, trade is a win or lose gameThis is vindictive behavior from the leader of a great nation toward its biggest trading partner. Trump also shattered political unity north of the border that has been critical to Canada’s approach to relations with Washington in the past. Trump is likely to try his divide-and-rule strategy among European nations, seeking to mirror his success in creating discord inside Canada.
