Trump responds to Canada again: I am running this country, not Canada.
Trump: Once again, we really don't want Canada to build cars for us. To be honest, we want to build our own cars - and we have the ability to do that now. They took away a lot of our car business, Mexico also took away a lot of our car business, and we want to build cars here. I am running this country, not Canada.
This is why I asked Trudeau, I affectionately called him Governor Trudeau. Why do we spend $200 billion to support Canada, subsidize Canada? He couldn't answer this question. I mean, why are we doing this? Honestly speaking, as a state, it works very well.
As a nation, considering most of Canada, you know, 95% of Canadians, what they do is buy from us and sell to us. If we don't buy their oil or need their oil, they have more oil than anyone else.
But we don't need their oil, we don't need their wood, we don't need their cars, we don't need anything. So I said, why are we doing this? Why are we spending $200 billion? It makes no sense if what we need is another topic. So, I work well with Canada, and we are doing well.
We are making a deal, let's see what happens. But again, you know why, on behalf of this country? Why are we spending $200 billion to support another country? Because, as Trudeau told me, without us, if we don't spend that money, they will cease to exist. What he told me is true, they will cease to exist.
