February 14, 2018  |  9:30-11:30 am

Description: The US and Canada are two of the largest countries in the world who share the longest land border between any two countries - 8,893 km (5,525 mi). Their shared historical and cultural heritage has resulted in one of the most stable and mutually beneficial international relationships in the world. But despite both being democracies and former British colonies, these two countries have very different governmental styles and structures of government. How will the new Canadian Prime Minister continue to cultivate relations with the US? How will the Trump administration handle relations with one of our oldest allies?
