NextImg:Here in Washington, the Trump vs. Canada reality isn’t what we think: Full Comment podcast

The premiers blitzing the U.S. capital wasn’t the pointless fiasco reports made it out to be, and President Donald Trump’s plan for Canada may not really about tariffs or fentanyl. In this special episode, Brian Lilley reports from the ground in Washington, D.C., where he interviews Canadian provincial and business leaders who were there and hears about their actual progress in trying to dissuade the Trump administration from a trade war. He also sits down for an eye-opening discussion with Steve Bannon, Trump’s former confidant and strategist. Bannon explains why he thinks the president’s fixation with overpowering Canada is, at its heart, about the pivotal position Canada would play in what Trump thinks will the be inevitable global confrontations with Russia and China. (Recorded Feb. 14, 2025.)
