VIDEO: Canada-U.S. Relations Fracture: Military Crisis in the Arctic

Interview with Mauldin Economics' Global Macro Update now posted

I hope all of you have enjoyed a festive last few days and that the rest of the week brings some well-deserved relaxation.

Amidst the ongoing political turmoil in Canada, which has been partly fueled by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s repeated suggestions that Canada should become the 51st state, I was interviewed by Mauldin Economics' Global Macro Update earlier this week. Ed D'Agostino adeptly explored the underlying reasons for this provocative stance by the incoming U.S. administration towards Canada and its Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.

HINT: There's a personal friction between Trump and Trudeau, but the core issue is U.S. frustration with Canada's military readiness, especially in the Arctic. This region is believed to hold vast reserves of oil & gas, rare earth minerals, and other precious resources like gold and silver, potentially worth trillions of dollars.
