U.S. Treasury Secretary Criticizes Canada's Strengthening Ties with China as Poor Strategy

[U.S. Treasury Secretary Fumes, Claims Canada's Growing Closeness with China Is a Bad Strategy]

Washington time September 8, 2026: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded to journalist inquiries at an event hosted by Breitbart News:

Canada isn't as prominent as Texas, especially since I'm about to head to Texas to attend the Republican National Convention during the midterm election period. Canada’s economy is smaller in scale. Texas has an economy worth $3 trillion, while Canada's economy is valued at $2.5 trillion.
