Original Note:
The US is not “subsidizing” Canada and Mexico. The actual trade deficits (not subsidies) are $41 billion with Canada and $162 billion with Mexico. A deficit means that one country’s consumers are buying more from the other nation, not giving money away. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/08/us/politics/trump-nbc-interview-fact-check.html?unlocked_article_code=1.f04.JUhC.Ay7b5Ton8BQT&smid=url-share
