Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Trump wants Canada to “negotiate in good faith.” In response, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Canada was at war with the U.S. and lamented that “America has changed” and promised “dollar for dollar” retaliation. MS NOW Senior White House Reporter Vaughn Hillyard provides more context on how Canada was “the top importer of American goods” prior to 2024.
