Trump targets Canada with tariff threats—and trolling

Live Mint  

The pair had an at-times rocky relationship during Trump’s first term in the White House, and the president-elect couldn’t resist getting in a dig last week during their impromptu meeting over dinner at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida estate. “Any good joke hits a little bit of a nerve, and certainly President Trump likes to hit a nerve," said Kirsten Hillman, Canada’s ambassador to the U.S., in a television interview. “Whatever the relationship was before, Trudeau’s press conference and Trump’s tearing up the G-7 statement pretty much finished it," Bolton said. “As most of Trump’s relationships tend to be, it was tempestuous," said Gerald Butts, vice chairman of the Eurasia Group consulting firm, and a former senior adviser to Trudeau who was also at the 2018 G-7 summit. Leonard Cohen was discussed at length, this person said, adding that the two leaders compared their favorite versions of the Canadian songwriter’s song, “Hallelujah," as different renditions played over the speakers.
