Snippet:
Washington: Early in his second term, US President Donald Trump wanted Canada so entwined with the United States that he even set out to make it the 51st state. Instead, he has driven Canada into the arms of the European Union after antagonising the Canadians for months, taunting the country’s prime minister and waging a relentless trade war.
