Rubio heads to Canada as Trump wages trade war

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Mark Carney, who will soon succeed Trudeau, warned that "the Americans want our resources, our water, our land, our country". The New York Times recently reported that Trudeau's sense of alarm grew when Trump told him he wants to revise a treaty dating from 1908 that sets the countries' border.
40% : Trump on Tuesday threatened to double the tariff rate on Canada but backed down after Ontario, the most populous province, agreed to stand down on a surcharge on electricity to three US states.
29% : But since returning to power Trump has taken a sledgehammer to Canada, mocking the less populous country by saying it should become the "51st state" of the United States and hitting it with tariffs.
22% : Rubio said he did not know if Trump raised the border treaty but that he did not expect the issue to come up at the G7 talks.
