"The calamitous collapse of trade negotiations between Canada and the United
States is a warning to nations worldwide that pursuing any kind of dialogue
with the current US administration is doomed at the outset, according to
observers who say this recent episode indicates seeking a fair deal is futile.
Andrea Lawlor, an associate professor of political science at McMaster
University in Ontario, said: “No matter the closeness of the historical
relationship, the American administration has signalled that it now prioritises
its interests above those of some sort of global economic coordination or
harmony.
“It feels like these talks ‘failed’. However, I’m not sure there was really a
success to be had.”"
