00:00:00.000 Canada is willing to sort of pull back and meet some American demands related to those
00:00:03.940 in order to make sure those 50% tariffs don't come into effect on August 19th.
00:00:08.940 It has to do with the booze bans, to do with the way that dairy quotas are looked at,
00:00:12.440 and then some tariffs that Canada, retaliatory tariffs Canada has imposed related to the auto sector.
00:00:16.980 Prime Minister Carney in Canada caved to President Trump in the United States of America,
00:00:21.740 and President Trump knows how to negotiate.
00:00:24.540 Here's the thing. Mexico and Canada need us. We don't need them.
00:00:30.000 The deal is important for them. It's not important for us.
00:00:34.000 Removing all of Canada's tariffs on U.S. goods, specifically covered under Kuzma.
00:00:39.780 Part of the point I made to President Trump when we spoke a few days ago is that it's not just he's winning the argument, he's won the argument.
00:00:49.020 Wait a minute. Wait a minute here. What happened to the whole elbows up thing?
00:00:53.860 what happened to we don't need america anymore we're replacing the united states with china
00:00:59.940 and europe you remember all of that well after saying last month it would remove all counter
00:01:05.340 tariffs on u.s goods covered under kuzma new reporting from the cbc has found out that the
00:01:10.200 liberal government quietly dropped more of those tariffs than advertised now it's a 50 50 revenue
00:01:15.300 split despite the american spending zero dollars on the bridge on the streaming decision how should
00:01:21.100 Canadians interpret that decision when Minister LeBlanc and Canadian officials are at an event
00:01:25.260 yesterday. President Trump thinks Canada will cave in. We will never ever bow down to a bully.
00:01:35.620 We can handle Donald Trump. He wants to break us so America can own us. We will not let that happen.
00:01:45.980 Part of the point I made to President Trump when we spoke a few days ago is that it's not just he's winning the argument, he's won the argument.
00:01:55.420 Don't give an inch. Don't give an inch.
00:01:58.480 We have the best deal with the Americans. And the third thing that's true is we will get an even better deal because we are here.
00:02:05.700 The relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperations is over.
00:02:15.080 There is not a chance in hell that U.S. alcohol is going back on the shelf in British Columbia.
00:02:20.800 And I'm proud of that.
00:02:22.260 Should Canada make any more concessions to get to the table with the U.S.?
00:02:25.120 No.
00:02:25.760 We need to hit them back as hard as we can.
00:02:28.880 I'm tired of the bully trying to take our lunch money all the time.
00:02:32.540 And I put the president on notice yesterday about the consequences of not having that occurred.
00:02:38.680 Industry sources tell CBC News that Canada is pushing for a few key things from the Trump
00:02:48.060 administration, demanding no new 50% tariffs, the one set to start August 19th. It wants sectoral
00:02:55.080 tariffs on steel and aluminum to be lowered, and a public announcement that Kuzma Review and those
00:03:00.720 talks are getting underway. To help get there, Canada is willing to offer a few things. Some
00:03:06.420 changes on dairy quotas making it easier to sell U.S. goods in Canada, an end to provincial
00:03:11.840 booze bans that are still in place, lift retaliatory tariffs placed on the U.S. auto sector, and
00:03:18.700 cooperation around defense, energy, and critical minerals. In the meantime, both countries
00:03:24.640 have agreed to hold daily meetings up until that August 19th deadline for those higher
00:03:29.240 tariffs.
00:03:29.680 Trump has completely demolished this whole anti-American act, and he's barely trying.
00:03:35.820 You have Carney now basically crawling right back to the people he spent months,
00:03:40.840 basically the past year, attacking.
00:03:42.880 Watch.
00:03:43.640 That future should include a new partnership with Canada.
00:03:48.080 A true partnership that reimagines cooperation in specific sectors
00:03:52.540 that are deeply challenged by global competition.
00:03:55.320 A partnership with a different Canada.
00:03:57.980 No, I'm not.
00:03:58.740 Look, we've been ripped off for years, and we're not going to be ripped off anymore.
00:04:01.800 No, I'm not going to bend at all. Aluminum or steel or cars. We're not going to bend. We've been ripped off as a country for many, many years. We've been subjected to costs that we shouldn't be subjected to. In the case of Canada, we're spending 200 billion a year to subsidize Canada. I love Canada. I love the people of Canada. I have many friends in Canada.
00:04:24.020 The great one, Wayne Gretzky, the great. How good is Wayne Gretzky? He's the great one.
00:04:29.000 But we have, I know many people from Canada that are good friends of mine.
00:04:34.120 But, you know, the United States can't subsidize a country for $200 billion a year.
00:04:40.100 We do it because we want to be helpful, but it comes a point when you just can't do that.
00:04:44.520 You have to run your own country.
00:04:46.160 This whole thing is actually insane when you stop and think about it. 0.85
00:04:49.480 The guy spent months telling Canadians that America could no longer be trusted, that Trump was the devil and America was the problem.
00:04:57.580 So Canada was moving on. New world order, new partnerships, new alliances.
00:05:03.440 That was the narrative. But what happened to China? What happened to Europe?
00:05:07.840 What happened to all this talk about replacing the Americans?
00:05:12.240 That whole act lasted about five minutes once the Canadian economy started falling apart.
00:05:16.940 Canada spent months becoming hostile towards America, more hostile than most countries around
00:05:22.280 the world. And now suddenly, Carney wants a reset because the Canadian economy is in big trouble
00:05:27.900 and Kuzma, NAFTA 2.0, may be cancelled. Go figure. But what I do know as the trade guy is that Canada
00:05:36.120 retaliated. The only other country in the world who retaliated on tariffs was the Chinese.
00:05:41.460 And so if the president's going to take an action and the Canadians retaliate,
00:05:45.020 the United States needs to maintain the integrity of our action, the effectiveness that we have to
00:05:49.700 go up to. You're talking about the things that the former Prime Minister Trudeau put in place,
00:05:53.760 not the current Prime Minister. And are still in place. So let's be clear, critical minerals
00:05:58.040 more than an economic issue, they're a national security issue. If we want to lead in advanced
00:06:03.360 manufacturing, AI, semiconductors, energy defense, we can't depend on our foreign adversaries for
00:06:09.620 materials that underpin our industries. We just can't. And that's why the president tasked us to
00:06:17.060 rebuild the supply chain and make it a top priority of his administration and my department.
00:06:22.680 So our objective is very simple. We're going to mine here. We're going to process here. We're
00:06:27.940 going to refine here. We're going to manufacture here. And we're going to create those American
00:06:32.000 jobs right here. So our Section 232 tariffs, right, where we strengthened our steel,
00:06:38.880 our aluminum, and our copper industries.
00:06:41.360 And let's just talk about what that's created.
00:06:43.120 So I have Jesse Gary on my left.
00:06:44.880 I went down to visit his aluminum smelter,
00:06:47.720 and he's building the one in Oklahoma.
00:06:51.480 Jesse's doing the one in Oklahoma,
00:06:52.860 where he's going to double the aluminum production
00:06:55.440 by the United States of America.
00:06:56.800 So that's pretty amazing.
00:06:57.680 It's going to be a great success.
00:06:58.500 Right?
00:06:58.700 Then, of course, we're doing steel in Alabama.
00:07:00.500 I mean, these are the first types of smelters
00:07:04.680 and furnaces that America's had in 40 or 50 years.
00:07:09.660 And it's only because of your leadership
00:07:11.540 and the 232 tariffs which you've been driving.
00:07:14.920 So the CHIPS program, right,
00:07:17.180 we gave Korea Zinc $7.4 billion
00:07:20.100 to build a critical mineral smelter
00:07:22.300 right here in the United States.
00:07:24.080 Vulcan Elements, $1.4 billion
00:07:26.060 also to build right here in the United States, right?
00:07:29.600 Another, Robert is sitting next to me,
00:07:32.320 we invested in iPulse.
00:07:33.580 That's his high-tech mining company, to change the way mining is done.
00:07:38.420 And so we have an investment with him.
00:07:39.940 And the goal, of course, is not just more minerals.
00:07:42.780 It's the full industrial supply chain on American soil.
00:07:46.800 You have to remember, we lost critical minerals not because of free markets.
00:07:51.860 It's because of foreign subsidies, market distortion, export restrictions, stockpiling.
00:07:57.680 These adversaries have just cheated their way to market strength.
00:08:01.840 and we are back and we're fighting it.
00:08:03.860 So we're not going to accept dependence on foreign supplies.
00:08:06.740 We're just not.
