In his speech yesterday, Canada PM Mark Carney seemed to try to explain to the President what a “trade deficit” is. You’re not just giving another country 100s of millions of dollars… You’re buying things from them! That you want!
Another prominent justification for U.S. tariffs has been their claim that, since the United States runs a trade deficit with Canada, we were "ripping them off"
But the United States' narrow merchandise trade deficit only exists because the U.S. buys so much of its energy from us.
Canada fuels American growth: supplying 99% of their natural gas imports, 85% of electricity imports, and 60% of crude oil imports. I don't think they want us to stop sending it.
And the comprehensive U.S.-Canada trade balance, which includes the many services - from finance to entertainment - that we buy from the U.S. shows a persistent American trade surplus.
Most fundamentally, trade is about building mutual strength - creating a relationship that benefits both countries.
For example, Canada is the largest customer for U.S. cars - in fact, we buy more American-built cars than the United Kingdom, Japan, and China combined.

I finally managed to photograph an Indigo Bunting! They are so incredibly vibrant. #Birds #nature #wildlife #PhotographersUnited
A horizontal photo of a male Indigo Bunting. The bird is on the right of the photo in profile, facing the left side. He is perched on a dead branch. The Bunting is a vibrant, deep blue color, with the head being slightly darker than the body. He is entirely blue except for black barring running along the wing edges and around the beak. He has a heavy, pale blue beak.

Behind the bird, the background is almost completely green, showing darker and lighter greens of out-of-focus leaves punctuated by spots of leaves illuminated by sunlight.
