#Canada’s Prime Minister #MarkCarney has arrived at the White House. He was greeted by Trump.The pair will meet in the Oval Office this afternoon, their first in-person interaction, where they will discuss #US – Canada relations. #Carney & Trump have spoken over the phone since Carney was elected as prime minister.And the #IdiotInChief literally just posted this nonsense:

In his post taking aim at #Canada, #Trump again cited a figure he framed as a “subsidy” the #UnitedStates gives its neighbor. The number he gave, $200 billion, appears to be a reference to the US’ #TradeDeficit with Canada. But that is vastly inflated: Last year, the #US had a $63.3 billion trade deficit with Canada, according to US official data. The US ran a trade #surplus with Canada if you excludes Canadian #oil exported to America.#geopolitics #MarkCarney

#Trump said the #USMCA [#US #Mexico #Canada] #trade deal was “very effective” but called it a “transitional step.”“I don’t know that it’s necessary anymore, but it served a very good purpose,” he said.Trump said the #UnitedStates will stop the #bombing of the #Houthi militia in #Yemen. He said the Houthis “don’t want to fight anymore.”“We will honor that, & we will stop the bombings,” he said.#Geopolitics

PM #MarkCarney started his statement by cracking a joke about being on the edge of his seat after #Trump promised a major announcement. That was typical Carney, using quick humor to pivot into a more serious statement. He also praised Trump for his “relentless focus on the American worker.”But #Carney’s face dropped & the mood in the room changed as Trump started talking about how #Canada should be part of the #UnitedStates.#geopolitics

@Nonilex Apparently Carney is so sheltered in rich white male privilege he missed the memo that the average American worker is not a cishet Christian white male embittered at the masses behind him in the pecking order rather than the few above him hoarding all the food.

“As you know from real estate, there are some places that are not for sale,” PM #MarkCarney said, adding: “The opportunity is in the partnership.” This was crucial for Carney to say explicitly, moving away from the #Trump rhetoric about owning #Canada & directing the conversation to what he wants to talk about: doing a deal.After Trump reiterated his interest in making Canada the 51st state, he said, “We’re not going to be discussing that unless somebody wants to discuss it.”#geopolitics

Even as Prime Minister #MarkCarney said #Canada was not for sale, #Trump did not give up.“Never say never,” Trump said. “I’ve had many, many things that were not doable, & they ended up being doable.”#Carney stopped short of antagonizing Trump further. He stated his position:“Canada is not, & never will be, for sale.Canadians were expecting him to make that clear in the meeting today, & he did.#geopolitics

@Nonilex Trump is a sexual predator and this comes out in so many ways, his constant harassing of Canada for example, like a guy who just won't take 'no' for an answer. #Trump #ElbowsUp

@Nonilex Canada is our #1 customer. It doesn't HAVE to do business with the US. Trash-talkin or otherwise abusing your biggest customers, closest neighbors and cultural allies is not the behavior of a smart man.

@Nonilex - those oil exports are primarily crude oil too, which then gets processed in US refineries, adding profits to US based coroorations and literally fueling US based jobs. But The Cheetoh, in his total ignorance of even basic economics, is clueless on that.

This is another remarkable moment in #Trump’s meetings w/foreign leaders in the Oval. Other visiting leaders have dodged questions about Trump’s controversial ideas while sitting w/him. They have instead focused on flattering Trump. Leaders have rarely rebuffed Trump to his face. And here, you have #MarkCarney clearly saying that Trump’s aspiration for taking control of #Canada is a nonstarter, “It’s not for sale. It won’t be for sale, ever.” Trump’s response was also notable, “Never say never.”

Prime Minister #MarkCarney said the #USMCA, the revised North American Free #Trade Agreement, will have to change. That is part of what he will discuss w/ #Trump today.He repeated that how Trump is handling trade & #tariffs “will have to change”#geopolitics #economy

#Trump is all over the place as usual. He has insulted #Biden, went on a long tangent about #Obama’s presidential library in Chicago, brought up California Governor #GavinNewsom repeatedly calling him “Newscum” — something he loves to do. Trump refused to say how he knew the #Houthis were backing down. “They’ve said, ‘Please don’t bomb us anymore,’” then added that it didn’t “matter” where he heard the information but that it came from a “very good source.”#geopolitics #idiocracy

#Trump again said that he would be signing trade deals with other countries in the coming weeks without naming the countries, but he insisted that the pressure was on other countries, not the United States. “They have to sign deals with us. They want a piece of our market. We don’t want a piece of their market,” he said.#trade #tariffs #economy #idiocracy

Things are getting dicey now as #Trump again brought up making #Canada the #51st state.Prime Minister #MarkCarney was VERY FIRM & VERY CLEAR it will NEVER HAPPEN.Then Trump claimed he was approaching #Carney in a friendlier manner than other leaders. “We had another little blow up,” Trump said, referring to his meeting w/ President Volodymyr #Zelensky of #Ukraine in the Oval Office. Trump said this meeting was different & they were being “friendly.”#geopolitics

#Trump said PM #MarkCarney can't say anything during their meeting that would persuade him to drop the US #tariffs on #Canada."No," said Trump when asked by a reporter if there was anything the prime minister could say this afternoon to convince him to lift them.Asked why, Trump said, "That's just the way it is."#geopolitics #economy #inflation #recession #idiocracy

@Nonilex Then nobody needs to meet with him. Raise the reciprocal tariffs to 5x whatever Trump imposes.Trump doesn't play hardball, not for real, he bullies and he coerces but he can't compromise or negotiate like a functional human.

#Trump repeatedly said today that companies were investing more than ever in the #UnitedStates. Actually, data showed that total construction spending on #manufacturing in the United States had fallen after hitting a peak in July & that companies were slashing their plans for capital expenditure amid the uncertainty about #tariffs. Trump said he wouldn’t change his mind on placing tariffs on #Canada as a result of today’s talks.#geopolitics #economy #inflation #recession #idiocracy

@Nonilex Y'know, I think there probably is a price Canadians would be willing to accept in order to become full citizens of the US, which I heard a comedian say once: a million dollars per person, to be distributed to individuals. 40 trillion dollars or so. Cheap at the price.

@Nonilex WTF does Trump do for workers exactly? He's raising our sales tax with tariffs, intends to shift the tax burden onto us with more sales tax, destroyed the economy with his random "policy" and is destroying every agency that works in favor of the workers.He talks about American workers a lot but not a single thing he's ever done was in our favor. It is all about cutting our legs off so it'll be easier for our employers to coerce and abuse us.
