Friends don't hurt friends - Canada wil negotiate

"Trudeau said that it would be a 'mistake' for the U.S. to limit exports of medical supplies to Canada in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. He also subtly reminded President Trump that it would not be in America’s best interest “to see interruptions in the supply chain in either direction."
"Fortunately and to their credit, 3M also recognises that it would not be in America’s interest to betray Canada, a country that supplies them with the ONLY source of a key strategic raw material used in the manufacture of PPE such as surgical masks, surgical gowns and so on.
"3M said that halting exports would cause other countries (eg Canada) to retaliate and cease exports to the U.S., leading to an overall decrease in the number of respirators available in the U.S. “That is the opposite of what we and the administration, on behalf of the American people, both seek,” the statement says.

Canadian’s were horrified to learn that the Trump Administration asked Minnesota-based 3M to stop sending N95 respirators to Canada. Many see it as a betrayal that can never be forgiven.
