The truth behind Trump's trade war with Canada: It will blow back

Donald Trump has restarted his trade war with Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney revealed that the US government made last-minute demands for control over Canada's trade deals, critical minerals, and French language policies, violating the country's sovereignty. Ben Norton explains how the trade war could blow back, given the USA's dependence on Canadian oil, exacerbating the global energy crisis caused by Trump's war on Iran.
