1:34Now PlayingWhile speaking to Lara Trump on Fox News, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent compared Canada to a “little yipping dog” in an interview that aired on Saturday. The comment came just before Canadian tariffs on roughly $20 billion in U.S. imports took effect early Tuesday — a retaliation for U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports put into place last month. Joe blasts Bessent, calling the comments “deeply insulting” before pointing to the importance of the peaceful border between the U.S. and its northern neighbor.
