Well there are most certainly border issues, but they aren't necessarily big issues. As we know with Trump, he always wants a win so he'll probably end up backing off if he can say Canada upped its spend on the border, increased NATO spend to 2% and made a few concessions around committing to buy more American goods moving forward.
The trouble is, right now I don't see Trump being willing to take Trudeau's word for it when he's walking the plank and we're probably looking at a 90 day pause so he can rake the next PM over the coals and feel like it will stick.
