He called this off saying that he had won concessions from both of them, but is there a tangible concession in your view?"

Collins asked Davidson on air on Monday

THIS WILL BE THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA! WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!),

Trump posted to Truth Social

Well, at least he's reiterated it,

Trump isn't exactly the master negotiator considering he's a convicted felon and bankrupted three casinos,

said another

You are really lucky that Canada is the country that sells you oil and gas and electricity,

Freeland told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Tuesday

Clearly, the [Trump] administration sees it as a movement today, with Mexico and Canada promising a lot that they weren’t promising before.”

Not true in our case. … ... We’ve had candid conversations with the administration for a long time on what we felt we could do and what we felt needed to be done — not just for you, but also for us. And many of those expenditures were already announced by the prime minister many weeks ago.”

The President declared economic war on Canadian workers and our country. There is no turning back,

Look around the world of nations and ask any country, ‘Would you like to have Canada as your border country, partner and neighbor?’ Overwhelmingly the answer, obviously, would be yes,

he said

Justin Trudeauprime Minister

I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan -- reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border."
