PJ The Belt - U.S. Officials Just Gave Carney His LAST WARNING — Canada's in Deep Trouble..

00:00:00.000 I understand that you're upset with the response that Canada made.

00:00:02.660 I'm not upset. I'm not upset. It doesn't bother me.

00:00:04.880 Okay, you don't view the response from Canada positively.

00:00:07.840 We put tariffs on every country in the world.

00:00:11.820 We did not take aim at Canada.

00:00:13.700 There were only two countries that responded in a strongly negative way.

00:00:18.320 Really? And I ask with great respect because, yes, you did apply tariffs to other countries,

00:00:22.560 but you initially applied 232 fentanyl-associated tariffs to Canada.

00:00:26.440 But from where I sit, it seems like you're frustrated with the idea that when Canada got punched, they didn't just lay there.

00:00:33.880 That, you know, Canada can have whatever response it wants.

00:00:37.480 While the Trump administration is clearly losing patience, what's Mark Carney doing?

00:00:43.360 Talking smack in Davos, picking petty fights over U.S. tariffs.

00:00:48.040 Tariffs that were imposed on all countries all over the world, by the way.

00:00:52.700 And yet only Canada and China decided to escalate.

00:00:56.440 No other country, not Japan, not Australia, not the entire European Union, no other country except Canada and China.

00:01:05.500 Canada's approach has been different.

00:01:08.320 They, like China, retaliated against the United States.

00:01:11.680 Two countries in the world retaliate against us, People's Republic of China and Canada.

00:01:15.840 The removal of the alcohol from the shelves in Canada by certain provinces was not capricious or arbitrary.

00:01:23.780 It wasn't intended to be an insult to American producers.

00:01:32.140 The fact that this is a two-way street and certain actions have consequences is an important point in negotiation.

00:01:42.260 The Prime Minister yesterday made that point as well.

00:01:44.860 This is a two-way street and we won't be bullied and we won't be dictated to.

00:01:49.100 provinces except for alberta and saskatchewan banning american alcohol even though canadian

00:01:55.260 liquor is still selling in the u.s without an issue politicians talking about replacing the

00:02:01.280 u.s market with china the middle east and who knows what else i'm sorry but that's not a plan

00:02:07.200 that's an economic fantasy you don't just wake up one morning and replace the united states of

00:02:12.640 america your neighbor the largest economy in the world the country that has kept entire

00:02:18.520 industries in canada alive for decades and yet this government acts like they can just swap out

00:02:24.820 america for china through some secret backroom conversation that nobody's even allowed to know

00:02:31.180 about does the visit of china's foreign minister wang yi later this week paved the way for a visit

00:02:36.360 by president xi jinping and you've said previously that there are guardrails in place in canada

00:02:42.920 against foreign interference yet you're on your government has not released publicly the rcmp

00:02:49.000 mou signed with chinese police why is that uh well we don't make a habit i'll answer the

00:02:55.160 second part of the question first uh we don't make a habit of releasing uh security documents

00:03:00.760 with uh with other governments for reasons of operational security that is standard practice

00:03:05.320 for this government previous governments as well so i don't see a reason uh to change that in uh

00:03:10.680 in this circumstance so thank you for that question but that's that's our policy and that's

00:03:14.760 what we that's what we stay to uh i look forward to uh the visit of uh china's foreign minister

00:03:21.560 tomorrow um i will have a chance to to meet with him uh it'll be a valuable exchange of views and

00:03:28.600 i i appreciate his arrival thank you i think we have to realize that some of these initiatives

00:03:34.920 the prime minister is looking at with china may have to be tossed in the negotiating discussion

00:03:40.760 on kusma because the u.s relationship is critical to our economy china is very important for

00:03:47.320 agriculture in a couple of sectors but we cannot run into the arms of china because the u.s is 0.97

00:03:52.760 giving us challenges they put china first they put illegal aliens first and everybody else first 0.94

00:03:58.280 but you but we put you first by a lot but at long last you finally have a president who is putting

00:04:06.360 workers first putting pennsylvania first and putting america first we're doing that and

00:04:11.800 we're doing it like nobody's ever seen before now here's the part that makes this even worse

00:04:17.800 while mark carney is down there pretending like he suddenly wants a closer relationship with the

00:04:23.080 the Americans, the U.S. is looking at Canada like, yeah, we don't trust these people anymore.

00:04:28.440 And from Washington's perspective, why would they? Because while Canada was publicly attacking Trump,

00:04:34.880 there were reports surfacing about agreements tied to Chinese security cooperation behind the

00:04:40.120 scenes. Think about how crazy that looks to the Americans. You've got Canadian politicians talking

00:04:45.540 about a new world order, talking about pivoting away from the United States, getting closer with

00:04:51.600 China. That's exactly why American officials keep warning that Canada has become one of the least

00:04:56.600 reliable U.S. allies. Because from their perspective, Canada spent months becoming

00:05:01.800 hostile towards America. More hostile than most countries around the world. And now suddenly,

00:05:07.080 Carney wants a reset because the Canadian economy is in big trouble. And Kuzma, NAFTA 2.0,

00:05:14.080 may be cancelled. Go figure. But what I do know as the trade guy is that Canada retaliated.

00:05:20.220 The only other country in the world who retaliated on tariffs was the Chinese.

00:05:24.280 And so if the president's going to take an action and the Canadians retaliate,

00:05:28.500 the United States needs to maintain the integrity of our action, the effectiveness that we have to go up to.

00:05:32.980 You're talking about the things that the former prime minister, Trudeau, put in place, not the current prime minister.

00:05:37.420 And are still in place.

00:05:38.420 Hi, my name is Rob Buffum. I work at CTV and my questions for the prime minister.

00:05:42.320 So on behalf of a colleague, and it relates to Kuzma,

00:05:45.300 President Trump, as you'll know, has made a range of comments on how he feels about Kuzma,

00:05:48.880 including yesterday talking about his preference for it terminating immediately i guess they want

00:05:53.840 to know you've obviously been in frequent conversation with the president what are

00:05:57.840 your thoughts as to whether he actually wants to see it extended for 16 years keep it for 10 or get

00:06:02.640 rid of it right away does trump want to get rid of it right away i know uh no look i think uh look

00:06:11.440 as you say i had a number of conversation with the president in parallel in the last few days

00:06:15.520 at the g7 on a range of issues including uh some of the commercial aspects uh the uh but you know

00:06:21.360 there were very detailed uh a series of technical conversations that slightly diminishes them i just

00:06:28.640 call it that way but minister leblanc who's responsible for this our chief negotiator

00:06:33.120 ambassador greer uh who is the u.s trade representative uh we continue to work through

00:06:38.720 a number of issues which are all related it's no secret the president in recent years has not been

00:06:44.240 the biggest fan of Kuzma or other trade deals. But there are specific things that we can work

00:06:50.620 together on. So here's the real story. The Trump administration isn't trying to go after Canadians

00:06:56.820 individually. They're going after a globalist, China-aligned, liberal machine that is running

00:07:03.040 Canada into the ground. The problem is, when Washington swings at Mark Carney, regular Canadians

00:07:09.800 are going to get hit too unfortunately workers farmers energy industry manufacturing everybody's

00:07:17.380 getting hit because mark carney wants to play globalist leader on the world stage while canada's

00:07:23.700 economy gets dragged into the middle of a fight we never had to be in and can't possibly win and

00:07:30.320 now the united states is basically telling canada this is your last warning pick a side because you

00:07:35.800 can't keep backstabbing america while expecting to still have a strong relationship with it how

00:07:40.800 long do you hope usmca negotiations or reviews go on well it's not something that's to me i think

00:07:47.700 it's better without it i mean to be honest with you i'm not a big fan of it i liked it because

00:07:52.880 it got us out of nafta in other words after six years you had a closet got us out of nafta

00:07:58.440 that's the thing i liked about it most we do better without an agreement

00:08:05.800 You
