Investing.com -- President Donald Trump has expressed his eagerness to meet with the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, despite voicing doubts about the necessity of Canada’s goods for the U.S. economy.
In a recent post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump questioned the trade relationship between the U.S. and Canada, specifically the $200 billion annual subsidy the U.S. provides to its northern neighbor. He also mentioned the free military protection and other unspecified benefits that the U.S. extends to Canada.
"I look forward to meeting the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney. I very much want to work with him, but cannot understand one simple TRUTH — Why is America subsidizing Canada by $200 Billion Dollars a year, in addition to giving them FREE Military Protection, and many other things?" Trump wrote.
The President further stated that the U.S. does not require Canada’s cars, energy, or lumber, emphasizing that the U.S. doesn’t need anything from Canada, except for maintaining their friendship. He also expressed that Canada, in contrast, needs everything from the U.S.
"They, on the other hand, need EVERYTHING from us! The Prime Minister will be arriving shortly and that will be, most likely, my only question of consequence," Trump added.
These comments were made shortly before Carney’s arrival at the White House. The President’s post indicates that this topic of U.S.-Canada trade relationship will likely be a significant point of discussion during their meeting.
