In North Dakota, a Republican-led state that exports around 80 per cent of the goods it produces to Canada, the trade situation is difficult as relations with Canada have deteriorated significantly following decisions taken by the US President.
In Grand Forks, the state’s third-largest city, situated about 80 miles south of the Canadian border, Mayor Brandon Bochenski says that the agricultural sector has been hardest hit and that local farmers, whilst resilient, are concerned about Canada’s retaliatory measures. The region voted for Trump in 2024.
“Presidents and prime ministers come and go, but Canada will always be our neighbour,” he says. “And in Grand Forks, we will continue to roll out the red carpet when our neighbours come to visit us.”
