USTR Jamieson Greer just put Canada on blast.
America offered them the best steel, aluminum, and auto deal on the planet, plus help on lumber. Trump and Carney shook hands. Ottawa went home, talked to the premiers, and came back demanding MORE tariff relief.
Greer’s line: they already had the best deal in the world. It still wasn’t enough.
Then Canada suspended talks, ran to the cameras crying “attacked,” and kept retaliating… American liquor bans, procurement lockdowns, dairy walls, and Chinese goods trying to sneak duty-free across OUR border.
Mexico’s at the table and responsive.
Canada walked away and wants a better hand.
Trump’s not begging. Greer’s message to Congress and the governors: help Ottawa understand the offer on the table… or keep watching Mexico get the points.
America First means the handshake goes both ways. 🇺🇸
