If NAFTA negotiations fail and U.S. President Donald Trump lashes out against Canada on trade, Ottawa shouldn’t hesitate to fight back, two members of the federal NAFTA advisory panel said.
Former interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose, a member of the cross-party NAFTA advisory panel, said she fears that if a deal isn’t made, Trump could target Canadian industries such as dairy, wine, aerospace engineering and the auto sector.
Trump’s motivation, Ambrose suggests, may be the looming midterm elections this fall, where Democrats have an opportunity to claw back control from Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate.
