Donald Trump told Fox News Bret Bayer in an interview with the pre -match Super Paul that Canada “will be much better than being 51”, where the president continued to insist on a real thing.
“We lose $ 200 billion annually with Canada, and I will not let it happen,” Trump said. “It is very much. Why do we pay 200 billion dollars annually, mainly in support to Canada? Now, if it is 51, I do not mind doing this.”
The United States does not provide $ 200 billion in support to Canada, but it seems that Trump was referring to the trade deficit with the country, which is not the same. In December, the trade deficit and services were 98.4 billion dollars, according to the Economic Analysis Office.
In what was broadcast on Sunday, what was lacking an interview with Bayer was the follow -up, as he faced a list of questions for about seven minutes of the timeline, and the transition from topics such as Elon Musk, to the challenges of the court in the arrival of Dog to federal agencies, to the customs tariff policy For those who believe Trump will win the big game. After some hedge, Trump went with the heads of Kansas City.
More Trump's interview will be broadcast on Monday on Bayers Special reportTherefore, it is not clear whether another point will be addressed: the vast majority of Canadians do not want to become the 51st country, and do not do most Americans, according to a recent survey. In Canada, Trump's talk also appears to have strengthened opposition against it.
In talking about annexation and definitions, Trump seemed to be inspired by his inspiration in part from Michael Moore in 1995 Canadian pork Satisfaction of the invasion and Blame on Canada Under the title South Park: Great, longer, unacceptable 1999 movie.
It is usually fast to respond to Trump's sarcasm and political measures, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was strangely silent on social media on Sunday after an interview of Fox. Mark Carney, the main competitor who takes over the liberal party and the Prime Minister's office from Trudeau in the next few months, was connected to the Internet. However, the former ruler of Canada and England Bank has spent a timing about the support he receives from members of Parliament, not the attack on Canada.
Super Bowl's interviews with the president have become somewhat tradition since 2009, and often mixed some difficult questions with real soft balls.
Bayer pressed the president at the time in the controversial interview in June 2023, causing Trump's exit. This time, around it, it was a light touch, as Bayer asked him about the challenge for the Musk team while moving across the federal government with a little transparency.
Bayer told Trump: “Some of your plays have raised some questions and had some decline,” Bayer told Trump. “Nineteen general lawyers filed a lawsuit, and early on Saturday, a judge with them agreed to restrict Elon Musk and his government competence team to reach the regulations for paying the Ministry of Treasury and Data Systems. They said that there is an irreplaceable risk of damage. What do you do. From that?
Trump replied, “I do not agree with this 100 %. I think he is crazy. We have to solve the efficiency problem. We have to solve fraud, waste, abuse, or other things that entered the government.” Trump went to suggest that there may be “starting” at the US Agency. For international development, but it has not provided any evidence.
The president announced his confidence in Musk, who said he would tell him to verify the Ministry of Education, which has long been at the right of the oath. Then they will go to the army. “We will find hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse,” Trump said. But there are clear questions – that were not asked during part of this interview that was broadcast today – of conflict of interests in musk as a government contractor and Trump's appointment to lead Dog.
