..taken advantage’

During the Monday press briefing, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders warned that Canada should gear up for a financial battle with the United States.

“We’ve been very nice to Canada for many years, and they’ve taken advantage of that,” Sanders said. “Particularly taking advantage of our farmers and at the G7.”

She noted that President Donald Trump “proposed that they get rid of all tariffs and drop all barriers and have really great trade and they refused that. And escalating tariffs against the United States does nothing to help Canada.”

Sanders said that the tactic has only hurt American workers.

It takes a certain kind of arsehole to go to war with Canada. Canada does have a backbone though. A nicer strand of the British stiff upper lift, hey!

[bdamomma]

13. They

Trump and Putin are after all democratic countries

[procon]

14. No one is being taken advantage! These treaties are negotiated and agreed to

by all parties. Maybe Trump is just stupid and he really thinks that every clause in the treaty is split 50/50, or he's taking advantage of ignorant voters and lying to them.

These are massively complex trade agreements, not individual item by item contracts. Trump is pointing to one issue that taken out of context might look like the US got the short end of the deal, but that's not how these treaties work. He's ignoring the big picture and the full scope of all the other sections of the agreements where everything balances out in the end and the US got the lion's share.

[Nay]

15. The movie "Canadian Bacon" is coming true, just like "Idiocracy" is!! Jesus Christ

on a crutch, this is so, so bizarre.

Plus Trump probably thinks this will make him look good when Putin does his annual job review of the US President later this month
