As Canadians grapple with our own political uncertainty on Parliament Hill, millions of Americans are set to cast their votes in the coming weeks — and the outcome of the U.S. presidential race is sure to have impacts that extend beyond its borders. Whether ramping up trade tensions with China, holding summits with North Korea, pulling U.S. troops out of Syria or ordering the killing of an Iranian general, U.S. President Donald Trump’s actions have contributed to political instability both at home and abroad.
To unpack how the Trump administration’s decisions have impacted our country, Canada’s National Observer editor-in-chief Linda Solomon Wood will sit down with CNN anchor and chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT as part of our fall Conversations series. We hope you’ll tune in for a frank discussion of how Trump’s foreign policy has affected America’s allies — Canada included — and why the effects of the past four years are not so easily undone.
