Context

The US and Canada appear to be headed for a prolonged trade standoff, with no current negotiations and Canadian officials expecting serious talks may not resume until after the US midterm elections. Bloomberg News White House Correspondent Jeff Mason and Bloomberg News Executive Editor for Canada Derek Decloet are on Bloomberg This Weekend with Christina Ruffini and Bailey Lipschultz to discuss the economic pain on both sides of the border, Canada’s push to diversify its trade and whether Prime Minister Mark Carney’s resistance to President Donald Trump could influence how other US allies respond.
