Business relative to what? The size of US total exports, or the size of Canadian-US imports/exports relative to the size of US GDP?

Lol. Is this a joke or actually you defending his statement?

American trade with Canada represents a very small percentage of American GDP. Canadian trade with the United States represents a much larger share of Canadian GDP.

In context, "we do very little business with Canada" is a very transparent attempt to increase leverage over the Canadian PM sitting right next to him. You'd think this shouldn't work because it's embarrassingly clear what he's doing, and yet you still don't understand him despite 8+ years of non-stop, breathless coverage.

Canada is one of our largest trading partners... in the context of "who we do business with", they are in the top 2. So saying "we do very little business with Canada" is simply wrong, lol. It makes no sense at all.

Country A sources 99% of its economic activity internally, and 1% goes to Country B. Country A trades with no other country. Does Country A "do a lot of business" with Country B? That's relative. Compared to their total trade? Obviously, it's 100%, they trade with no one else. As a percentage of economic activity? Clearly not, it's a relatively insignificant contribution to their economy.

Most US trade is internal to the US. Canada is simultaneously one of the US's largest trading partners and a very minor part of the overall American economy. That's Trump's point, he actually goes on to state a figure ("maybe 4%") which overstates Canada's importance to the US. Conversely, the Canadian economy is far more dependant on the US than the other way around, which Trump also went on to point out.

The trade relationship is of asymmetric importance to both countries.
, Trump understands and sees it as leverage. Feel free to have a conversation on whether or not you think that's good policy.

Elon Musk got his AI data about your taxes, job, social security, etc etc

He doesn't need you anymore right wing.

Back to the left he goes.

There's plenty of ways Trump could've made the point you are making, without saying something blatantly false.

Tariffs have been imposed on our exports for a long time. The imports from Canada, which are slim comparatively to overall GDP, are what is being tariffed by Trump now. That's the topic, not your spin. The existing tariffs in place from Canada to the US. Not to mention the fact that we are currently in a trade deficit with Canada. LOL!! Just on the sheer size of our economy we will most likely always be in a trade deficit with them unless we get level playing fields.

We brought in $412B from Canada. I would say they are quite dependent on the economy in the US. Their GDP is around $2.2t. The US is responsible for nearly 20% of Canada's GDP. Our $27trillion GDP vs Canada's 350b... about 1.3%... I'm just saying. We don't do much business with Canada... Canada does a lot of their business with us. About 1/5 of it. In other words, if they lose our purchases, they could be facing a downturn economically. On the other hand, if we lose them, I'm certain another player in the world scene would welcome the US's $350b that Canada loses out on.

Repubs over and over again just looking out for the rich while actively destroying everyday American lives.

Supreme Court justices can't even agree to smack down a religious charter school.
Keep church and state separate as outlined in the constitution thanks

I refuse to pay taxes to have kids taught make believe non sense
