“It has a country that has a single-payer health care system that’s failing. They have record-high euthanasia rates,” Duffy said. “And so, to think that they’re going to go to war with Donald Trump and actually win that war with the U.S., I think it’s foolish on their part.
He continued, “And again, I think what the president is trying to do with Jamieson Greer, who, by the way, has done an amazing job representing the president and America, is we want fairness for the American worker. And some of our best friends are the worst offenders that treat us the worst.”
Moreover, Secretary Scott Bessent aimed at the Canadian military on Monday. He dismissed the idea of a “tit-for-tat” trade war with Canada, claiming that Canada’s economy is about 13 times smaller than the United States.”
“I mean, we’re not at war with Canada. How are we going to be at war with Canada?” Bessent said, per Newsweek. “What, they’re going to take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sic them on us?”
“Stop doing memes”
He further accused Carney of turning the dispute into a “political shouting match” and pursuing what was best for himself and the Liberal Party rather than Canadians.
Now, Prime Minister Matt Carney has had enough. On Tuesday, he was asked about the U.S outbursts at his country and its military, accusing Washington of prioritizing ‘point-scoring’ over making actual progress.
“It’s beneath their office,” Carney said. “When the Americans stop doing memes, stop throwing shade and stop trying to be tough, and start being serious about having those discussions, we can have those discussions. It’s not constructive, but that’s their democracy.”
