Trump Questions US-Canada Border Treaty | JQJO

During a White House meeting, President Trump discussed the US-Canada border with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, describing it as an arbitrarily drawn line. Trump's fascination with potentially redrawing the border, established through negotiations between 1783 and 1846, has raised concerns. Experts note that while the border's placement was somewhat arbitrary, altering it would violate international law and severely damage US-Canada relations. They suggest Trump's comments are likely a tactic to create controversy and leverage in other negotiations, rather than a serious policy proposal.
