The $200 billion dollar "subsidy" he is referring to is the USA's trade deficit with Canada. That's not a subsidy.
If you want an example of the USA subsidizing a foreign nation, take a look at Israel.

Trump: “I love Canada … But the United States can't subsidize a country for $200 billion a year … You have to run your own country. And to be honest with you, Canada only works as a state … I'm sorry, we have to do this.”
English
@akhivae sure trumpy, don't need our oil, electricity, WATER, don't need anything from us, except the landmass that gives the USA its warning time for an attack from the Arctic. Even your imaginary Gold Dome cannot and will not work without the nation of Canada being involved. Fuck Off
English
@MikeBigsley7 @akhivae Do you understand a trade deficit exports dollars outside of the US and creates a need to print more USD? He's right for reducing trade deficits.
English
@akhivae DJT DOES NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS...
DJT IS REFERRING TO A TRADE DEFICIT...THE AMERCANS LOVE TO TRADE WITH CANADA...
THEY GET GOOD DEALS AND DELIVERY IS CLEAN AND SWIFT!
DJT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AND THE USA SUFFERS THE LOSS WITH DJT TARIFFS!

@Variable_Gear @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok Exactly my point, you dont need to force people via taxes to help each other.
English
@Americanvalues @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok Well no it’s showing that I understand how human social interactions work reciprocity predates government by millennia it’s very easy to come to these conclusions when you study how humans survive in the harshest environments it’s not from individualism but communal welfare.
English
@Americanvalues @anus_anon @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok 150 Billion for 64 miles of road good but 150 billion for 800 miles of high speed rail huh I wonder which one is actually better you might not want to be calling others retarded if you think this is fiscally sound.
English
@Variable_Gear @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok Your blind faith in government is truly a testament to how well the US government system has worked
English
@Americanvalues @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok We do not and cannot live alone we are all in this together and that means those who have more help those who have less and none study anthropology and human nature libertarianism runs counter to all of human history’s reciprocity us one of humans greatest strengths.

You understand policing is structured with local police being the most capable of enforcing laws, States cant enforce state laws without local police, the federal government cant enforce its laws without state and local help. You vote for your sheriff, its not perfect but it gives your vote real power in law enforcement.
English
@Americanvalues @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok You are strawmanning that I think I want government everywhere couldn’t be further from the truth I want the defunding of the police and military that has thousands of bases all over the world that is the big government not social security and public welfare.
English
@Variable_Gear @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok The government they created started with legally and fundamentally protecting citizens from the government. Why would that be?
English
@Americanvalues @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok The founding fathers weren’t noble brilliant minds they were quite stupid their limited government immediately collapsed at the first crisis they tried limited government it doesn’t fucking work.

@Regina_Griffin @clashreport @SouthernMomOG Greenland better get used to the importance of their country in the very near future.
English
@clashreport @SouthernMomOG Greenland must have an enormous amount of natural resources, for the globally ignorant one to have noticed it at all.
At least Denmark is an active member of NATO, which promises
English
Trump’s Greenland envoy, Jeff Landry, lectured Greenlanders by claiming nobody cared about Greenland before Trump — and insisting that Trump “cares about the Greenlandic people.”

What an idiot, Chinas navy cant even reach the US.... they have 1000s of tiny boats for domestic defense, the US can park nuclear powered carriers off Chinese shores for years straight, china still uses diesel powered carriers, no nuclear powered ships at all. This guy is disingenuous as hell
English
But I thought they were the greatest in the history of the entire galaxy? Why do they need Canada?
Clash Report@clashreport
Former U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken: If we're competing with China one-on-one, that's a game that we may lose. Their market's much bigger, their manufacturing is three times our manufacturing. Purchasing power parity is greater than ours, more papers, more patents, a bigger navy — you can go down the list. But when we're aligned with Europe, with Japan, with Korea, with India, with Australia, with Canada, we go from about 25% of world GDP to 50 or 60%. A lot harder for China to ignore.
English
@calmecam Genuinely doesn't matter what you do. The US military budget increased $500 billion this year alone. Thats more than all US allies weapons purchasing combined. Your 35 planes are a rounding error.
English
It's merely an empty provocation (for domestic consumption purposes only)
But...
What it also is, is the United States giving us yet another reason to go with the Gripen
Keep punching yourself in the dick, USA
😂
Scott Robertson@sarobertson_
Lisa Raitt says the US pausing the Permanent Joint Board on Defence is a nothingburger : "Various agencies show up. They have one day of meetings. Then letters are written to the prime minister and the president talking about what they accomplished in that day. That's it."
English
The US military spending went from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion this year, the entire EU military budget including the UK is $650 trillion. The US made up for EU weapons purchases on its own.
Europeans are capable people, you're capable of building militaries that can handle your defense. In the event of a massive conflict, Americans are your allies, the world knows this.
No need to be upset
English
U.S. TO CUT NATO MILITARY COMMITMENTS
The Trump administration plans to tell NATO allies this week that the U.S. will reduce the forces it makes available to the alliance during major crises, sources said.
The move reflects President Trump’s push for Europe to take greater responsibility for its own defense. The Pentagon is expected to outline the plan at a NATO meeting in Brussels on Friday.
The decision comes amid rising tensions within the alliance, with European allies worried about a broader U.S. pullback from NATO.
English
@Variable_Gear @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok The founding fathers called government "a necessary evil" because thats exactly what it is. The flag represents you and I despite our different opinions.
English
@Americanvalues @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok Yeah and people who waved that flag did Segregation slavery, genocide, in the name of the flag also look into any time libertarians try to do government free societies it collapses instantaneously because we are social creatures who need to cooperate and share resources.
English
What is going on in Canada? Everyday you have another major announcement - like everyday - Bombardier and planes. Gold mines opening and expanding in Ontario and up North, huge new graphite plant in Quebec and on and on. What is going on in Canada. Oh yeah, @MarkJCarney
Heather Exner-Pirot@ExnerPirot
Keyera, AltaGas and CN to go ahead with a new $240-million rail terminal project to provide transportation capacity for the shipment of about 45,000 barrels per day of propane and butane from the Fort Saskatchewan region to West Coast export facilities.
English
@Variable_Gear @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok The American flag doesn't represent our government. It represents the idea that is the United States and those who gave their lives defending that idea.
English
@Americanvalues @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok And I do know history it’s why I’m not a reformist, Stalinist, or an MLM, I prefer Eugene Debs, it’s also why I’m not a flag fucker I know the atrocities the American government committed on Black indigenous and other marginalized communities.
English
Yes, world history... the US was founded on the idea of small government and rights of the individual above all else, because history shows you the abuse a government is capable of. Don't give them control of your health-care, your income, your access to information, it only leads to abuse.
English
@Americanvalues @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok You said world history and world history tells us invading the Middle East is one of the stupidest things you can do as an empire. Was there a lot of government control during the gilded age because that was the era with the most human exploitation and abuse.
English
@Variable_Gear @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok Your reading comprehension is totally garbage.
I said there is a lot of lessons in history about your political ideology..... the more government control the more likely people will be abused
English
@Americanvalues @SerialCode1183 @Alixxa01 @grok Also bold to say learn history when talking about wars in the middle east History is why I oppose wars in the middle east it's terrain is ripe for insurgency Egypt, Rome, England and America have all tried and failed to hold the middle east guess what it never fucking works.
English
@sofarawaytae What is absolutely shocking is Canada has a unique access to the US, the biggest economy on earth. Prioritize that relationship and Canada is thriving. Its so simple.
English
not to mention the conversion we have to pay for literally everything $20cad = $14.55usd so i’m paying us prices on a $14/hr salary, most people make even less on minimum wage it’s exhausting
meredith@mirroredmoodz
Im actually so tired of Canada getting skipped Im tired of reading “NA Tour” and it’s just USA cities. It’s so insulting because we exist and even “small” artists sell out 3,000+ venues here just because they bother to come Im tired of the assumption we will just go to the USA
English
@HistoryCath @djbip1986 @OrbitStudios Dig into that military spending increase. Raises for troops, landscaping at bases doesn't make your military better.
English
@djbip1986 @OrbitStudios While govts of both stripes have not made defence a priority, it’s certainly one now. I really don’t think the recent U.S. announcement has anything to do with our current defence spending (which is increasing).
English
Back in the real world, we’re spending more on our military than ever and meeting the 2% NATO requirement.
This is all a hissy fit from the US because we’re moving off of them for military equipment.
But right on cue, our “journalists” are siding with the US.
