“Managing the relationship” will be the purview of diplomats long after the Trump regime has faded. They are not about to grandstand about Trump’s appalling behaviour, particularly when the safety of colleagues and their families are at issue.

I’m glad we helped those people when they needed help.
That’s who we are, and I would be ashamed of us if we turned our backs on civilians evacuating from a war zone, particularly when it was easily within our reach to help.

“The ad hoc arrangement with Canada underscores just how unprepared the US State Department was for dealing with the ripple effects set off by Operation Epic Fury. The official I spoke to acknowledged “it must have been frustrating and maybe a little scary” for some, waiting for their passports and for more clarity from their government.”
Oh it’s not just Operation: Stupid Name that they are dramatically unprepared for…

So Canada did the kind and decent thing and helped out a bunch of civilians who were stuck in a horrible situation though very little fault of their own.

That sounds like a good thing to me.
