U.S. President Donald Trump has wasted no time in implementing a series of executive actions at the start of his second term, many of which are aimed at reversing policies put in place by former president Joe Biden. Trump has made it clear that he intends to follow through on his threats to impose tariffs on Canada, causing concern among Canadian business leaders and politicians. Despite the brief reprieve until Feb. 1, there is still uncertainty surrounding the future of trade relations between the two countries.
The international community is also closely watching Trump’s actions, with many world leaders feeling unsure about the future of their relationship with the U.S. now that he is back in office. The reactions from global leaders vary, as they navigate the changes brought on by Trump’s return to the White House.
