00:00:00.000 You know, unfortunately, I think we're finally at the point
00:00:02.760 where Trump is starting to look at Canada and say,
00:00:05.000 you know what, maybe it's time we just move on.
00:00:07.540 Because listen to what the president is saying about Canada now.
00:00:11.380 Not Iran, not Russia, not even China.
00:00:14.780 Canada, the country that sends the vast majority of its exports
00:00:17.920 into the United States,
00:00:19.680 being described by the president of the United States
00:00:21.800 as one of the most difficult countries in the entire world to deal with.
00:00:26.140 And it definitely doesn't mean that as a compliment.
00:00:27.920 Well, they haven't treated us well. The Canadian officials have treated us very badly. They're nasty people. They charge our farmers 400 percent tariffs. They've been doing it for a long time. And I had them figured out in my first term and I did some pretty strong things and had it getting pretty good. And then the election was rigged and now I'm coming back and doing it the way and finishing the job. But they treat us very badly.
00:00:53.120 canada treats us very badly i would say that of all countries as you know we have president
00:00:57.440 chi coming in a couple of weeks uh we have a lot of we deal with a lot of people people
00:01:02.240 oftentimes they'll ask me who's the worst to deal with on trade and i said that's easy canada
00:01:09.680 they are the worst and they they feel entitled and just we can't have that think about how insane
00:01:14.960 that situation is because the economic reality for canada is that it needs the american market
00:01:20.640 far more than america needs the canadian market yet according to trump canadian politicians walk
00:01:26.560 into the negotiating room acting like washington owes them something now in canada they rely on
00:01:32.480 this country the united states your country for revenue for military protection for oil refineries
00:01:39.680 for technology medical pharmaceutical advancements uh and how are we repaid for our friendship and
00:01:46.800 for our kindness now for years before donald trump uh you know was president the only things
00:01:53.420 we ever got were massive tariffs uh and now we're getting hit with a lot of threats and a lot of
00:01:59.460 anger and a lot of disdain any moment president trump he attempts to negotiate a free fair
00:02:05.980 reciprocal trade deal well this is what happened take a look doug ford also told the associated
00:02:12.400 press that if this fight gets worse, the way he put it is everything is on the table, including
00:02:18.380 cutting off electricity from Ontario going into the United States. Do you support that move?
00:02:27.300 Well, whatever it takes, whatever it takes. This is why I think people are missing the bigger
00:02:32.800 picture here. This isn't just another round of tariffs. The Americans are sounding like they're
00:02:37.200 getting tired of the entire relationship altogether. In the case of Canada, I have
00:02:42.620 spoken with Secretary Besant, with our great trade rep, Jameson Greer. The deal was basically done,
00:02:50.220 except that then Prime Minister Carney started to realize this was bad politics for him. He has
00:02:57.340 run on being the tough guy against Trump. Elements of the deal, which was a fair deal on all sides,
00:03:05.500 started to leak out and suddenly he sends in some of his political team on top of the negotiating
00:03:14.760 team and pulls out and starts spinning. One of the pieces of the spin, to your point on China,
00:03:21.220 was that we were demanding that Canada not enter into other types of trade agreements. That's
00:03:27.260 absolutely not true. What we said, what the team said was, look, if we're going to give you very
00:03:33.160 favorable tariff status we're going to give you the best deal of any other country that we trade 0.99
00:03:38.180 with in the world you can't then let china take advantage what they call transshipment and start 0.86
00:03:44.160 dumping their goods into canada just to dump their goods in the united states and we're right back
00:03:48.960 where we've been for many many administration so you've got to raise you candidate your tariffs
00:03:54.520 on china like importantly like mexico has done and i have to tell you what in contrast to prime
00:04:01.400 minister uh carney shine bomb down in mexico has worked well with us has established a good
00:04:07.520 relationship with the president is working with us not just on cartels uh and national security
00:04:13.160 but also on these trade issues at the end of the day president trump's going to put the american
00:04:17.340 worker first but here's where this story gets really interesting howard ludnick just gave his
00:04:21.580 version of what actually happened behind closed doors and if this account is accurate this wasn't
00:04:26.940 simply two countries that couldn't agree on the numbers.
00:04:30.320 Ludnick is saying that Canada had been offered an extraordinarily good deal.
00:04:34.680 He says that the two sides had actually agreed to the terms previously, and then suddenly
00:04:39.660 the whole thing started falling apart.
00:04:41.600 All right, I met with their trade minister LeBlanc at least 10 times in the last month.
00:04:49.740 I spoke, I spoke to Mark Carney twice in the 24 hours before this ended, twice.
00:04:58.740 I have texts back and forth with Mark Carney.
00:05:01.240 I have a longstanding relationship with him from when he worked at Goldman Sachs way back when,
00:05:05.460 let alone when he was at the Bank of England.
00:05:07.060 So I've known him a long time.
00:05:08.040 So it's easy for me to communicate with him, right?
00:05:11.680 We, Canada has the best trade deal in the world before we started.
00:05:15.680 We negotiated and Canada was going to have the best trade deal in the world
00:05:21.120 And what happened was that Canada walked away
00:05:25.120 We had a deal, we shook hands, the president announced it
00:05:27.540 Everybody was positive
00:05:28.780 Canada made the decision for political purposes
00:05:32.360 They wanted to walk away
00:05:33.920 This is politics only 0.97
00:05:36.300 If you think I ever said the words French 1.00
00:05:41.120 do i care about how the quebecois speak i mean what could matter less to america we don't care 1.00
00:05:50.340 so the fact is we never brought those words up this is manufactured and that's why the president
00:05:55.720 put out a truth saying it was a complete lie right it was manufactured so there's the sovereignty
00:06:01.780 party trying to run and they're in the lead in quebec and so this was mark carney manufacturing
00:06:09.160 something that would try to keep them from winning. And then you have Alberta has an
00:06:14.620 independence resolution. These are elections in October. So he's making this a political
00:06:22.720 thing for Canada. And my guess will be as soon as his elections are over, you're going
00:06:28.720 to see a plane full of Canadian negotiators flying down and go, come on, come on, we'll
00:06:32.620 give it to you before your election. We're just being used by them, right? That's what
00:06:37.720 happened. That's why it ended. It didn't happen for math. The math was sensational. It was a great
00:06:43.880 deal that we shook hands on. You know, when someone doesn't want the deal, they make up and
00:06:47.260 say, oh, I'll do the deal with you only if you wear green. And you're like, but I'm wearing,
00:06:51.840 I'm not wearing green. He's like, oh, sorry, it's not going to work out. It was nonsense.
00:06:55.580 And this is important. Lutnick is a legend of politics, not economics, politics explains what
00:07:01.620 happened. But Carney actually benefits politically from having Donald Trump as the bad guy.
00:07:07.000 Now, Carney's government disputes that version of events, but look at the incentive Lutnik is
00:07:11.380 describing here. Quebec has a situation going on in October with a separatist party that is
00:07:15.720 leading in the polls, and then you have the reality of the Alberta referendum, and Carney
00:07:19.800 wants to get ahead of that and create this boogeyman again south of the border to benefit
00:07:24.600 politically and get better outcomes in those electoral battles, right? So you basically have
00:07:29.540 Ottawa saying, forget your problems with us, forget the problems in Canada, look at those
00:07:33.160 terrible americans and that terrible president and that's why howard lundix account matters here
00:07:38.760 because if the americans believe that canada the government of canada is using trade negotiations
00:07:44.280 as domestic political theater why would trump keep playing the same game over and over again
00:07:50.200 we've been screwed by tariffs used against us for years by china by japan by south korea by 0.50
00:07:56.680 Germany by everybody by Canada Canada's nasty they are they're nasty people think Canada they're 0.97
00:08:04.340 nasty people I love the people but they're nasty nasty leadership if you support those videos 0.98
