Transcript

I think this is very unfortunate that Prime Minister Carney has turned this into a political shouting match. We're not at war with Canada. How are we going to be what are they going to take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sic them on us? That, you know, he came to power on an anti-American, anti-Trump agenda. He was 20 points behind in the poll. And then he started this and it's unfortunate that he's not doing what is best for the Canadian people. He's doing best what is best for the Liberal Party, for Mark Carney. And in the long run, the Canadian people are going to see through that. And I will say that they were offered the best trade deal of any, any country on the globe, and he chose to walk away from it at the last minute.
