00:00Mr. President, is there anything China, Canada, and Mexico can do tonight to forestall your
00:06implementation of tariffs tomorrow?
00:08No, nothing.
00:09Not right now.
00:10No.
00:11Not a negotiating tool?
00:12No, it's not.
00:13No, it's pure economic.
00:15We have big deficits with, as you know, with all three of them, it's a lot of money coming
00:21to the United States.
00:22As you know, we have about a $200 billion deficit with Canada, getting close to $200
00:29billion.
00:30It's, they've treated us very unfairly.
00:33And I say, why should we be subsidizing Canada?
00:35They, you know, it's wonderful.
00:37I have so many friends in Canada.
00:38It's a great place.
00:39Is there a concession you're looking for, sir?
00:41No, we're not looking for a concession, and we'll just see what happens.
