Trump goes from the 51st state trolling at the first meeting with the new Canadian prime minister

Washington – President Donald Trump retired from his trolling of keyboard warriors at his first meeting with the new Prime Minister of Canada, saying that his threat of annexing the nation to the nation only happened if the Canadians wanted him, even while he continued pushing the extravagant facilities by subverting his commercial war with Canada and any other nation.

“You know, two are needed for tango, right?” Trump said before stating that Canadians could obtain lower taxes, free military protection and, in some way, better medical care if they joined the United States. “It would be a really wonderful marriage.”

Mark Carney, meanwhile, made clear more than once that was never going to happen.

“There are some places that are never on sale,” he said. “Having met with the owners of Canada during the campaign in recent months, it is not for sale. It will not be on sale.”

However, during much of the meeting, Carney, a former central banker with a doctorate in economics, seemed to have difficulty saying it as Trump, a reality presenter who would bank the casinos, established a false belief on international trade after another.

He said that the United States does not “do many business” with Canada, that the United States “lost” $ 1 billion from China last year and that Americans “subsidize” Canada “$ 200 billion a year.”

In fact, Canada is the largest export market in the United States, and the US. Uu. Last year they sent goods and services worth $ 440 billion there. Trump, once again, is combining a commercial deficit with the United States budget deficit in the figures he quotes in China and Canada, and the first has little to do with the second. In any case, the numbers are not almost precise. The United States had a commercial deficit in goods with China of $ 295 billion last year and one of $ 64 billion with Canada.

Trump also complained that cars manufactured in Canada, by American car manufacturers, are imported for sale in the United States, despite the fact that he signed and continues to praise the free trade agreement of the United States-Mexico-can in the of importation.

“We want to make our own cars. We really do not want cars in Canada. And we put rates in Canada’s cars,” Trump said.

The unpotrications without facts about Trump’s trade, in fact, began half an hour before Carney reached the West Wing.

“I hope to meet the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carnge.

During the 35 minutes of the meeting that the media were allowed to witness, Carney tried several times and could not counteract a claim that Trump had asked or answer a question. He was offering looks that seemed to vary from frustration to bewilderment.

Towards the end, he could finally correct one of Trump’s falsehoods. “We are the largest customer in the United States in all of all goods,” he said. “You know, 50% of a car that comes from Canada is American. That is not like any other place in the world.”

It was the first time that the two knew each other in person, although they have spoken on the phone twice. Trump at the beginning of the photography opportunity of the Oval Office acknowledged that his own words and actions on Canada may have led to Carney’s recent electoral victory.

“I think I was probably the best that happened to him, but I can’t receive full credit,” Trump said. “His group was losing a lot and ended up winning.”

Carney became Prime Minister when Justin Trudeau resigned earlier this year. His liberal party was expected to lose before the conservatives in the next elections, but that was before Trump intensifies false attacks against Canada for deceiving the United States in commerce while continued to affirm that the country would become the state 51. The liberals ended up winning the elections of April 28 with almost enough seats for a direct majority.

“I’m glad you couldn’t say what was going through my mind,” Carney told journalists at a press conference later when he was asked what he was thinking while Trump was holding. “Thank you, I suppose, for your question.”
