Canada can work with US President Donald Trump’s administration to reshape global trade and weaken China’s dominance of supply chains, according to Chrystia Freeland, the Canadian politician who’s vying to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister.

The Canadian candidate for prime minister said she believes Trump is smart and is threatening to impose tariffs on allies in part to pave the way for tougher policies on China.

Both are small nations in Trump’s sights because they possess valuable territorial assets he covets. In Denmark’s case, it is the strategic Arctic territory of Greenland and in Panama’s, the shipping canal built by America over a century ago.
