Will Trump win a Bafta for his Nafta deal?

Donald Trump knows how to bully to get his way. Canada used to be a much-loved ally of the United States but Trump has had it in for America's neighbour ever since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the G7 summit of most developed countries that he wouldn't be pushed around by the US president. Trump put a big cross against Canada and set about forging a revised North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta), by persuading Mexico to sign up to a new deal and then threatened to leave out the Canadians. Poor Canada. The foreign minister Chrystia Freeland had to hop onto a plane as fast as she could to get to Washington to find out what the hell was going on. Canada will be forced to give in if it wants to stay in the new-look Nafta which will be given a different name, probably something with Trump in it. Bully boy tactics come easy to Trump and he will be pleased to be getting back at Trudeau who dared to raise his voice against him. Mexico has given in because it has been bullied more than any other country, friend or foe. Immigration, The Wall, drugs gangs, Mexico has had the lot thrown at them. Trump will get his way with Canada because he knows that Canada cannot afford to be left out of a free-trade agreement. After 19 months in power, Trump is not making friends anywhere. But for sheer Trumpery, the new Nafta is a Bafta performance.
