1:58Now PlayingPresident Trump on Wednesday, September 2, talked down future trade talks with Canada, downplaying the country's importance to the United States, describing Canada's leaders as "the worst" he has to deal with, and repeating assertions that Canada is ripping off the U.S.
Just a day before, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called for a more serious approach from the U.S. before trade negotiations can restart. He accused the U.S. of pushing terms that could weaken key Canadian industries and said Canada would not accept a deal that threatens its sovereignty.
