00:00Mr. President, a representative of Canada, the finance minister, are in town and will
00:07meet members of your administration during the day.
00:10Any chances that you will ban on the tariffs on aluminum and the ones that are planned
00:18for April 2nd?
00:19No.
00:20You are not going to change your mind?
00:22No, I'm not.
00:23Look, we've been ripped off for years.
00:24We're not going to be ripped off anymore.
00:26No, I'm not going to bend at all.
00:28Aluminum or steel or cars, we're not going to bend.
00:32We've been ripped off as a country for many, many years.
00:35We've been subjected to costs that we shouldn't be subjected to.
00:41In the case of Canada, we're spending $200 billion a year to subsidize Canada.
00:45I love Canada.
00:46I love the people of Canada.
00:47I love, I have many friends in Canada.
00:51The great one, Wayne Gretzky, the great, how good is Wayne Gretzky?
00:54He's the great one.
00:56But we have, I know many people from Canada that are good friends of mine, but you know,
01:02the United States can't subsidize a country for $200 billion a year.
01:07We don't need their cars.
01:10We don't need their energy.
01:11We don't need their lumber.
01:13We don't need anything that they, that they get.
01:17We do it because we want to be helpful, but it comes a point when you just can't do that.
01:21You have to run your own country.
01:24And to be honest with you, Canada only works as a state.
01:26It doesn't, we don't need anything they have.
01:30As a state, it would be one of the great states anyway.
01:32This would be the most incredible country visually.
01:36If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it between Canada and the
01:41U.S.
01:42Just a straight artificial line.
01:43Somebody did it a long time ago, many, many decades ago, and it makes no sense.
01:51It's so perfect as a great and cherished state keeping, oh Canada, the national anthem.
01:59I love it.
02:00I think it's great.
02:01Keep it.
02:03But it'll be for the state.
02:04One of our greatest states, maybe our greatest state.
02:07But why should we subsidize another country for $200 billion?
02:11Of course, it's $200 billion a year.
02:14And again, we don't need their lumber.
02:16We don't need their energy.
02:17We have more than they do.
02:18We don't need anything.
02:20We don't need their cars.
02:21I'd much rather make the cars here.
02:24And there's not a thing that we need.
02:26Now there'll be a little disruption, but it won't be very long.
02:31But they need us.
02:32We really don't need them.
02:33And we have to do this.
02:34I'm sorry.
02:35We have to do this.
02:36Yes.
02:37Yeah.
