Amagambo ya Trump akomeje kugaruka ku gitekerezo cye cyo guhindura Canada “leta ya 51 ya Amerika”, igitekerezo cyakomeje guteza uburakari mu bayobozi no mu baturage ba Canada.

Gusenyuka kw’ibiganiro byahungabanyije umubano w’ubucuruzi wari umaze igihe urangwa n’ubufatanye bukomeye hagati y’ibihugu byombi, kandi kugeza ubu nta nzira isobanutse yo gukemura ayo makimbirane iragaragara.
