00:00:00.000 American Vice President J.D. Vance, he simply could not keep Canada's name out of his mouth.
00:00:05.860 Listen to what he had to say today.
00:00:07.480 President Trump has made some comments about trade with Canada.
00:00:11.200 For manufacturers here in Michigan, that bridge will be a lifeline to get products over the border.
00:00:17.720 Do you think that the president has taken the right steps with Canada in regards to the bridge?
00:00:22.420 And do you think that it should open on time?
00:00:24.600 Well, the president's attitude to Canada is they are an important ally.
00:00:28.740 They're an important trading partner, especially for folks in this region of our country.
00:00:33.020 But Canada has taken advantage of the United States of America for far too long.
00:00:37.980 And they've taken advantage of the United States in a couple of different ways.
00:00:40.640 Number one, they have allowed us to subsidize their entire military, their entire security.
00:00:47.340 Canada pays virtually nothing, at least until a couple of years ago, for their own security,
00:00:52.460 which means we had to foot the bill for that security.
00:00:55.180 Is that fair to you and your kids that you have to pay for the military of a foreign country?
00:01:00.440 No.
00:01:01.440 So the President of the United States said to the Canadians, number one, you guys got to take your own security more seriously.
00:01:07.080 You're always going to be an ally, but why don't you have a little bit more self-sufficiency?
00:01:10.700 And I think that makes complete and total sense.
00:01:13.140 The second thing the President said is if we're going to be true friends, you have to treat our workers as fairly as we've treated Canadian workers for 40 years.
00:01:22.560 Again, we have let so many people over the entire time that I've been alive take advantage of the United States of America.
00:01:30.280 The president said, if you're going to apply a tariff to our goods, we're going to start applying a tariff to your goods, too.
00:01:36.480 It's basic fairness.
00:01:38.420 And that's what we've done.
00:01:39.540 And our hope with Canada, and I think we'll get there eventually, is we're going to get to a point where Canada treats our workers fairly.
00:01:45.480 we treat their workers family and they're going to be a true ally and a true friend
00:01:50.060 not somebody who's taken advantage of us which is what they've done for most of my life okay so
00:01:54.400 first of all most of what jd vant says is false canada has in fact been a good friend to the
00:01:59.440 united states and it was them that started the fight with us second of all america is in a lot
00:02:05.440 of trouble right now with iran so pushing your former allies even further away that's not a smart
00:02:11.040 approach.
