Carney and Canada Chose China Over the USA

Carney and Canada Chose China Over the USA.

Big Mistake, Huge.

Mark Carney chose China over the United States.

Canada ships billions in goods to the US annually.   At the same time, Canada has in place huge tariffs on US goods that prevent them from being sold in Canada.  It’s not fair or recipricol.

President Trump gave Canada a choice and Canada chose China.

Mike Froman, former US Trade Rep on CNN yesterday afternoon “I think the new issue is that the Trump administration is pressing Canada, as well as other countries, to adopt a common approach vis a vis China, whether it’s a common external tariff or export controls, or ensuring that Chinese products inputs don’t get inserted into products in Canada, that will then be imported into the United States.”

“And Prime Minister Carney has noted that that goes against their sovereign right to establish relationships with other countries.”

“So that’s going to be an issue of contention that the administration is going to continue to have to have dialogue with Canada and with other countries over time.”

Here are Canada’s trade representatives.  The woman in purple is the granddaughter of Nazis.

The original Canadian trade team sent to confront Donald Trump. Totally serious. Not a joke. That's them. https://t.co/S56ypesGSx pic.twitter.com/N5h4IjqpAE

Carney has a strong relationship with China, and he values that more than the relationship with the US.

Trump says it best.

It's a simple truth. pic.twitter.com/ePsRMWoJUF
