The relationship between the United States and Canada has been critically important on a number of levels – national security, bilateral trade and economic growth, science and technology, the health, and much more. The past 20 months has impacted the future evolution of relations between the two governments. From new administration in Washington, the Liberal government’s re-election in Ottawa, and the re-opening of the border after a lengthy closure.
As both countries look to support a strong economic recovery in the wake of the global pandemic, the need for effective and mutually beneficial cooperation now become more important than ever before.
