Abstract

After contentious year of 2018 overshadowed by uneasy talks on NAFTA re-negotiation and Trump’s angry tweet aimed at Trudeau after the G7 summit in Quebec in June, everybody were anticipating that the U.S. and Canada would seek for reconciliation. Indeed, the past year was marked by a number of positive steps in that direction. However, the normalization process was practically brought to a halt in December 2019 due to the hot mic moment at  leaders’ reception in London on the occasion of the NATO 70th anniversary. There Trudeau was caught on camera with other world leaders laughing at President D. Trump. In return the American president called Trudeau ‘two-faced’. Experts are trying to guess whether this diplomatic spat will remain an insignificant episode or taking into account Trump’s long memory for slights it will entail more serious consequences for bilateral relations.
