The conflict between the United States and Canada begins to intensify again. Prime Minister Mark Carney is not directly involved in US state elections, although he has previously threatened to cut off electricity to areas close to the Canadian border. Instead, he expressed opposition to possible negotiations with Donald Trump. Carney announced his intentions to sign a trade agreement with the US after the election of the next president, which will not take place until 2028. Trump's 50% tariffs are now in effect, affecting just 5% of the countries' $800 billion in total trade. In addition, Canada is actively working to obtain the status of an associate member of the European Union, which is also seen as a move against Trump. European countries are interested in gaining access to Canadian resources such as oil and rare earth metals, especially in light of the difficult economic situation in Europe due to conflicts in the Middle East and problems in the supply of fuel from Qatar and western Saudi Arabia. The European bureaucracy is trying to reduce its dependence on Chinese supplies. At the same time, Canada is developing a new oil pipeline to the West Coast to divert oil exports away from the US and towards Asian countries. It is possible that some of the volumes will also be sent to Europe, but this will not happen at least for the next few years. The prospect of resolving the growing tensions with the US seems unlikely. It's not just a matter of cutting off the supply of oil to the American market - it threatens Trump's strategy, known as the Donero Doctrine, which aims to strengthen American influence. This leads to negative consequences and significantly weakens the position of the US in its region.
