Is Canada Done Being America's Nice Neighbor?

<p dir="ltr">The United States and Canada share the longest undefended border in the world, deeply integrated supply chains &mdash; and a free-trade agreement that President Donald Trump negotiated himself during his first term and called a great deal.

In this episode of "<a href="https://pages.deseret.com/podcasts/deseret-voices">Deseret Voices</a>," she sits down with Jane Clayson Johnson to answer the questions Americans and Canadians are asking right now.</p>
