US business, which tRump does listen to, will not stand for a long suspension of talks.

Who drove Canada to seek trade with China? Canada had gone along with the US 100% tariffs on electric vehicles, despite have not much electric vehicle manufacturing.

Also, don't forget the Two Michaels. Canada, at the behest of the United States, arrested the Huawei CFO in Vancouver and kept her in house arrest for about a 1000 days while the US dithered about what to do. It cost Canada its canola exports to China, proportionately larger than US soybeans to China. Also, two Michaels, Canadian citizens, were arrested in China in retaliation and kept in horrific Chinese jails, while the US dithered.

As a country, Canada did this for its friend the United States. But tRump is a friend only to sycophants and suckers.
