What’s the beef between Donald Trump and Canada? The US President wants to make Canada America’s 51st state - and he claims it has been ripping America off for years. But the Canadians are fighting back. And the two countries are now in a full-blown trade war with tariffs, taxes and trash talking. Trump has even threatened to ‘rename’ Canada’s Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’. In this episode of the breakdown, we speak to US historian and international strategy expert Professor Phillips O'Brien, and we look at how this trade war started, how it has escalated, and what could really be behind it all.
