Well, as we know, the United States has turned in a different direction over the past three years under the current administration in the White House.
Our traditional relationship has, in many ways, become much less predictable, but moving forward, I think it's important for Canada to continue to strengthen its trade relationship with the United States, the trade relationship within NAFTA 2.0, and diversify and strengthen its relationships, not only with the United States, but with European Union partners and, importantly, with countries within east Asia, where I'm based: Japan, South Korea and parts of China such as Taiwan.
All of these countries share similar values and in many ways complementary economies that I think can strengthen Canada's position within the region, give it insight on how to deal with countries like China, and really start to build a collective approach to managing some of the challenges moving forward as the United States' and China's rivalry become more serious, which, unfortunately, is going to have a boomerang effect on countries such as Canada, Australia, Japan and others.
