Prime Minister Justin Trudeau managed one chaotic term under U.S. President Donald Trump, and he鈥檚 made it clear he鈥檇 prefer to continue working with current President Joe Biden.

One that鈥檚 likely much more unpredictable and isolationist than the first Trump administration.
Earlier this month, at a campaign rally, Trump suggested NATO countries that don鈥檛 spend enough on defence would be left to defend themselves if Russia were to attack.
