No, Canada

Trudeau blew:

When Boyle asked Smith how she thinks Trudeau has handled negotiations with President Donald Trump, she suggested Canada “got into a ditch” in the leaders’ initial Mar-a-Lago meeting. Trudeau and Trump met at Trump’s luxurious resort in Palm Beach, Florida, in November following the election. “I can tell you, I think we got into a ditch with the very first meeting in Mar-a-Lago. I’ve seen the president reference many times since then the exchange–I think two blunders: One was the on the issue of NATO,” she said. “We know the American president expects for all of the trade partners to reach their two percent NATO commitment, and Canada still hasn’t committed to doing that until 2032, so I think that was one problem. And then, yes… he said that tariffs would result in Canada collapsing, and I think that was the wrong message to convey because it made us sound very, very weak.” Smith added that Canada’s dependence on trade with the United States is “mutually beneficial.” “I mean, we are definitely dependent on U.S. trade… We certainly have more dependence on U.S. trade than in any other market, but it’s mutually beneficial,” she said. “And I wish that we’d been able to convey earlier on just how much the Americans benefit from being able to buy cheap and discounted raw materials and intermediate products so they can do the value added to create American jobs and also keep prices lower for consumers.” “That’s the partnership that we have. And Canada, in exchange, also becomes the principal buyer of American-produced products. We’re your biggest customers,” she added. “So I think that we started off on the wrong foot, and now we’ve been trying to get that information out because we really should maintain this tariff-free relationship between our two countries. Our industries are so integrated, and it’s good for both partners.”

Too bad Truedope doesn't seem to seee it that way...
