Can we deal with an American "ally" with irrational governance? A debate at the Monde Festival Montréal

Managing Trump is a headache … Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau experienced it bitterly at the G7 in Malbaie in 2018, where the President withdrew from the final press release he had just signed. Emmanuel Macron has made the bet to fully bet on a personal bond, even if he has not succeeded in convincing his American counterpart not to quit the climate agreement or the Iranian nuclear agreement. What to do when your main ally does not respect his word and signature and occasionally treats you worse than an enemy?

Elisabeth Vallet, director of the Geopolitics Observatory of the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) and associate professor in the geography department of UQAM, and Michel Duclos, diplomat, former ambassador to Damascus and today special advisor to the Montaigne Institute, discussed it on Friday, October 25, at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

A meeting led by Marc Semo, journalist at World.
