Washington's position on its neighbours

Commenting on this idea, the US President emphasised the asymmetry of interdependencies between the two countries. «Вони нам не потрібні. Ми потрібні їм» ("We don't need them. They need us"), Trump stressed.

In addition to political assertions, the administration leader mentioned the financial aspects of cooperation. He claimed that the United States previously suffered annual losses of up to $100 billion specifically due to trade and economic relations with Canada.
