So Canada stuck the dagger in Donald Trump and they twisted it. The trade minister of Canada,

Dominique LeBlanc, went on American media and he was asked, so why don't you just remove the retaliatory

tariffs? Because the United States trade minister says Donald Trump is really upset that Canada

And our version is just a complete idiot. This guy, Jameson Greer, he's the guy who

talks about, oh, we need to decouple from China, really decouple from China while you attack

Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and you don't even allow the Taiwan president to come into the United

Xi Jinping and said, can you not let the Taiwan president come into the United States to go to

Central America? Donald Trump's like, anything for you, Xi Jinping, anything for you, Xi.
