30| Canada and Trump with Former Foreign Minister John Baird
You’ve seen the reaction to Trump’s win this side of the Atlantic, but what about Canada? We’re honoured this week to be joined by John Baird, former Foreign Minister of Canada and Senior Advisor at Eurasia Group.
We discuss the fallout to the Trump win, why Kamala lost, and how countries can deal with the new administration. We also touch on other foreign policy issues including the war in Ukraine.
