US and Canada's Relation Frayed

While NAFTA was signed by the US, and many found relief in knowing that Trump's threats to ruin Canada's economy was not going to happen, the future relations between Canada and the US will not be the same. Many are saying that because Trump had inssulted the Prime Minister, the country, and even the chief negotiator. This interaction is being said to have left a large scar on the Canadian's psyche. It will be hard to recover the damage of a relationship that is being compared to kinship. The dynamics between the two countries have shifted towards being compared to brotherhood to Canada being called a "security threat".While it is not the first time that presidents and prime ministers don't get along but what makes this incident different is how public it was.
