Trump would be climate-change challenge, Clinton likely victor, feds figured
OTTAWA — Canadian diplomats in Washington warned Ottawa earlier this year that a Donald Trump presidency would affect how the two countries co-operated on fighting climate change.
They also levelled criticism at Trump’s protectionist trade policy, at one point branding it ill-informed.
And less than two months before the Nov. 8 election, they said that a Trump victory seemed unlikely, given Hillary Clinton’s strong showing in polls.
The findings are contained in a series of campaign monitoring reports prepared by the Canadian embassy in Washington for Global Affairs Canada.
