also says USA doesn't need Canadian oil or products,
also says
buying from Canada means they rip us off, that we "subsidize" them....
10% instead of 25% means he's trying to make sure they can still import it, still cheaper than having to carry it over the ocean in tankers!

What needs to happen is to see if trump et al make money this way.
