US-Canada trade war: How economic dependence became leverage | Al Jazeera Explains

Canada and the United States built one of the world’s most integrated relationships, linking trade, energy, factories and defence. But new tariffs, collapsed trade talks and Donald Trump’s repeated 51st-state remarks are testing that relationship.

Al Jazeera Explains how decades of integration created mutual dependence, why the power imbalance still matters, and whether Canada can reduce its exposure without damaging the ties that helped make it prosperous.
