Trial Balloon · Ep. 190: Trump Is Everywhere

Trump Says U.S. Needs Nothing from Canada

May 6, 2025 · 12:46 pm ET · Leave a Comment

President Trump wrote on social media just before meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that he wanted to work with Carney but didn’t want to “subsidize” his country.

Wrote Trump: “We don’t need their cars, we don’t need their energy, we don’t need their lumber, we don’t need ANYTHING they have, other than their friendship, which hopefully we will always maintain. They, on the other hand, need EVERYTHING from us!”

The reality is that Canada is the single biggest purchaser of American products.
