President Trump lashed out at Canada, calling it "one of the worst countries in the world to deal with," and accusing Ottawa of exploiting U.S. economic generosity for years. According to reports of his remarks, Trump claimed the United States loses more than $60 billion annually in its trade dealings with Canada, arguing the relationship has become badly lopsided against American interests. He vowed to change course, declaring, "It's time to teach Canada you can't do this anymore." The comments come amid ongoing friction between Washington and Ottawa over trade and border policy. Trump has repeatedly criticized what he calls unfair trade practices by longtime allies, arguing previous administrations let other nations take advantage of the U.S. It remains unclear what specific measures, if any, the administration plans to pursue against Canada in response.
