Under Joe Biden, the US government pledged millions of dollars to mutually beneficial mineral projects in Canada. Donald Trump has also shown interest in critical minerals, but his approach has been less friendly.
Trump has imposed tariffs against a range of Canadian goods, including a 10-percent tariff on resources including critical minerals, and repeatedly threatened to annex the country, which he has referred to as the 51st state.
Former prime minister Justin Trudeau has said he believes the threat is real and motivated by Trump’s interest in Canada’s critical minerals.
