Trump Edition: Annexing Canada, negotiating with Russia and containing China

Donald Trump has long expressed a desire to make Canada the 51st
state of the US, with tensions rising as the two countries engage
in a trade war. Canada has implemented retaliatory tariffs
against Trump’s policies, and outgoing Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau has accused Trump of trying to weaken the Canadian
economy to make annexation easier. Polling suggests 90% of
Canadians say they would oppose becoming part of the US, but not
everyone shares that view. Telegraph foreign correspondent
Memphis Barker meets with those who believe joining the US might
not be such a bad idea.


Plus: Thomas Wright, strategic and national security advisor in
the Biden White House, speaks with Roland Oliphant about Trump's
approach to Russia and China, and the surprising continuity
between the Biden and Trump administrations.
