· Leave a Comment

President Trump admitted that he made “off the record” comments to reporters saying he would not offer Canada any concessions in NAFTA negotiations.

Said Trump: “Wow, I made off the record comments to Bloomberg concerning Canada, and this powerful understanding was blatantly violated. Oh well, just more dishonest reporting. I am used to it. At least Canada knows where I stand!”

Axios reports that talks with Canada broke off but will resume next week.
