Ottawa analyzes the diplomatic failure as a trap Trump sets for his own allies

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media

ANALYSIS

Ottawa reads the Islamabad collapse as proof that Trump's diplomacy rests on ultimatums, not compromise. The Globe and Mail detailed the 21-hour marathon, revealing that talks broke down over American demands on Iran's nuclear program — a red line Tehran considers non-negotiable. The National Post quoted analysts warning that the blockade threat could backfire: closing Hormuz would hit America's own Asian allies hardest. Vance called his offer 'final and best' — contract language that slams the door on any resumption of dialogue.
