This is the best summary I could come up with:
A second Trump term — which, according to most polls, is the likely scenario — could be a turbulent one for Canada, with talk of a renewed trade war and a sustained push to make allies spend a lot more on defence or risk losing U.S. military support.
Vance — a self-described “hillbilly” who grew up in a white working-class Ohio family with roots in neighbouring Kentucky’s coal country — and Jivani, the Black son of a single mother from a Toronto suburb, were classmates at Yale Law School.
After the book’s success, Vance formed Our Ohio Renewal, a charitable organization focused on economic and social revitalization, and tapped Jivani to run its day-to-day operations — a testament to their continuing closeness years after their time at Yale.
While he’s the product of a prestigious law school with past work experience as a venture capitalist in San Francisco, Vance accused “elites” of ignoring people outside big, wealthy cities.
In his interview with Jivani, Vance said corporate behemoths like Apple and Google develop products in North America only to offshore manufacturing to cheaper jurisdictions like China — depriving workers on this continent of good jobs that can sustain a middle-class family.
Vance has since endorsed Trump’s proposal to impose tariffs as high as 10 per cent on all U.S. trading partners as part of a bid to spur companies to make more products in places like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan.
