Reeher Speaks With Fox News About Trump’s Proposed Tariffs for Mexico and Canada
“I think what he's putting out now, at this stage, could be seen as an attempt to nudge the behavior of both Mexico and Canada regarding the border and to engage in what is essentially financial saber rattling. But also, I wouldn't be surprised to see him follow through on this because he is a believer in tariffs,” says Grant Reeher, professor of political science.

He has been open in his disdain for NATO for decades,” says Renée de Nevers, associate professor of public administration and international affairs. “This leaves European NATO with a serious security problem at a time when the threat to Europe from Russia is clear and present.”
