President Donald Trump said Friday he “wouldn’t mind” pursuing separate trade deals with Canada and Mexico in lieu of the North America Free Trade Agreement.

“These are two very different countries,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “But I wouldn’t mind seeing a separate deal with Canada, where you have one type of product, so to speak, and a separate deal with Mexico.”

Trump went on to say the U.S. loses “a lot of money with Canada” and “a fortune with Mexico” and that while he loved both countries, they took “advantage of us economically.” He singled out Mexico for attracting U.S. auto manufacturers and Canada for restrictions on American agriculture imports.

The president’s remarks came less than a day after he warned Canada in a statement issued by the White House that a renegotiated Nafta accord must be “a fair deal, or there will be no deal at all.” Earlier Friday, Trump said Canada had treated American farmers poorly and called for a reduction in trade barriers.
