Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far. So, in this video, we're taking a look at the escalating US-Canada trade war, how it's pushing Canada towards the EU and how the EU is responding.
