Michael J. Fox laments Canada-U.S. trade war, says people-to-people ties still strong
Fox said the trade dispute is sad and pointless, while noting Americans and Canadians still keep strong ties at the human level.
- On Friday in Ottawa, Michael J. Fox described the Canada-U.S. trade war as "sad" and "pointless," asserting that human-level ties between Americans and Canadians remain strong despite escalating tensions.
- Canada and the United States have been locked in a bitter trade war since President Donald Trump returned to the White House two years ago, imposing tariffs that Canada says violate the Mexico Agreement.
- Tensions escalated in August when trade talks collapsed before a Trump-imposed deadline regarding $28 billion in Canadian goods; Trump also signed an order renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America," calling it a "little lesson."
- Fox told The Canadian Press that the conflict does not reflect the views of most Americans, stating, "It's really important that we realize where it's generated from." He distinguished between political rhetoric and ordinary citizens' attitudes.
- While acknowledging current frustrations, Fox expressed optimism that "a lot of change will come in the next couple of years," viewing the trade friction as temporary political maneuvering rather than lasting damage to bilateral ties.
