JUST IN: Trump Made One DEMAND On Canada — Then IT HIT HOME.
Canada US trade deal news: President Donald Trump says a trade deal with Canada could come "fairly soon," even as his tariff war with Prime Minister Mark Carney keeps escalating. Speaking in Dublin, Trump again claimed the United States has been "ripped off for 50 years" and that Canada charges American farmers "400 percent tariffs." In this video we break down what he actually said, what the numbers really show, and why the pressure heading into the US midterms may be running the other way.
We start with Trump in his own words on the Canada tariffs and CUSMA, then check the 400 percent claim against Canada's supply management system, which Canadian officials call a quota system, not a wall.
From there we look at the real story that Washington does not want front and centre: Trump's call to ban Bombardier jets from the US market, and the pushback from his own Kansas Republican senators, Roger Marshall and Jerry Moran, who are fighting to protect more than 1,200 Bombardier jobs in Wichita ahead of a tough Senate race.
Former NDP leader Tom Mulcair explains the pressure points on American elected officials, from tariff driven inflation paid by US consumers to the Bombardier fight.
We also cover Canada's 27.6 billion dollars in retaliatory tariffs, and Mark Carney's Canada Investment Summit in Toronto on September 14 and 15, where investors managing close to 120 trillion dollars gather as Canada pitches a one trillion dollar goal. We include the other side uncut, including the view that a deal is not guaranteed on Canada's terms.
