Maine’s governor says the ongoing trade war between the United States and Canada is “irrational,” and that she wants it to end.
Janet Mills said she’s heard the same from residents of her state.
“They want the war to stop,” the Democratic governor said in an interview with CBC News.
“I mean, it’s not rational. This president says he’s trying to secure a, quote, fair deal. This isn’t how you negotiate.”
Mills said Maine and New Brunswick share close family and cultural ties, and she has respect for Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Susan Holt, along with other premiers she’s met.
