Canada-U.S. Relationship in 2022: A Course toward Rapprochement

Abstract

The general state of Canadian-American relations in 2022 can be described as good, and the prevailing vector is further rapprochement. Speaking about the specifics of this year, three points can be made: Canada's willingness to meet Washington's expectations regarding a number of important issues; the impact of several massive American laws on the economic situation and industrial policy in Canada; and the US interest in coordinating international initiatives and obtaining Canada's support in key international organizations and on acute problems.
