Congress's silence on Trump's desire to annex Canada, a long-term ally, is so damning on both legal and moral levels. The utter lack of vocal opposition is either tacit approval or political fear. Maybe even both.

My comment published on New York Times guest essay 1 of 2 The author avoids mention of the Trump administration's self-defeating illegal tariffs on Canada, especially clear in the case of the auto industry which is fully integrated with US companies and workers.
