Trump says the United States does not need oil, gas, vehicles, or lumber imports from his allies to the north.

Trump made the comments Thursday, in his first speech to world leaders since returning to the White House for his second term.

    “Team Canada” is bogus crap. Interprovincial trade barriers mean the cult mantra of "Team Canada is a distraction tactic from blaming the Liberal party for any tariffs and loss of jobs in Canada.

      I can’t imagine 12 of 13 premiers would agree on taking some of the heat off of any federal party, especially one that’s all but leaderless.

        Is the federal party that you are saying is leaderless? Why do you say 12 out of 13? Who are you not counting, and why?

          I’m sure you must know the answers already but clearly I’m replying to your comment and referring to the Liberals, the party whose leader has announced his resignation. And once again, it’s pretty clear Danielle Smith is the odd one out. She refused to sign off on the first ministers letter a couple weeks ago and every single other premier has been specifically quoted as supporting a team Canada approach, even Scott Moe.

            Danielle Smith’s priority is making sure Canadians keep their jobs. Tariffs on Canadian imports results in layoffs of Canadians so they are out of work, out of a job.

              I’m sure it is, but her approach is like when younger kids are playing sports (hockey, soccer, lacrosse) and there’s that one kid that refuses to play their position and just ends up chasing the ball. Sure, they’re all aiming for the same net, but that one kid can undermine the rest of the team’s strategy. At best the rogue kid leaves an opposing player wide open, at worst they steal the ball from their own teammate and shank it into the stands.

                You are wrong, it’s the exact oposite. Smith’s priority is trying to work with the other side to build an agreement, and everybidy else is being a spaz and complaining “We want it our way or we’re not playing! Trump won’t do what we told him, he started ths fight!”

                If Truseau won’t secure the border to block people crossing illegally in Anerica, Trump has a right to wreck Canada, damage Canadian businesses, and have thousands of people in Canada lose their jobs and be unemployed.

                Trump never said Canadian shouldn’t accet immigrants, he’s only demanding that Canada block the border to America outside of a USCBP
