Trump falsely claims the U.S. “subsidizes” Canada by $200B (made-up). In reality, the 2023 trade deficit was ~$30B, mostly from cheap Canadian oil that benefits U.S. consumers. That’s not a subsidy — it’s a mutually beneficial trade deal. 📊 www.census.gov/foreign-trad...

My meeting with the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations was focused on keeping Canada’s economy strong in the face of unjust tariffs.
We’re ready to engage with the U.S. on a comprehensive negotiation — when Canada is shown respect as a sovereign nation.

I had an excellent call with President von der Leyen about the road ahead for Canada-E.U. trade.
Canada and Europe are strong, reliable partners. In a shifting global economy, that matters more than ever. We’re ready to secure new transatlantic business opportunities together.
