Punched in the nose: Trump policies fuel sense of anger, betrayal in Canada [Video]

Canada is going through a period of transition and Canadians feel “galvanized” as it faces an “existential” threat from Donald Trump, says Tom Clark, Canada’s Consul General in New York. Mark Carney was just sworn in as the country’s new Prime Minister and America, its close and long-time ally, has turned hostile under the second Trump administration. Trump is continuing to use tariffs to wage a trade war with Canada and has continued to propose making the country America’s 51st state. Canadians are feeling a “sense of anger and betrayal,” Clark tells Ali Velshi. “We’ve been punched in the nose by our very best friend and we’re trying to figure out why.”March 15, 2025
