and to uphold canadian values and stand up for canadian values and stand up for canadian interests.ng that he will be able to walk that line but a lot depends on what donald trump does in the next weeks, months and years, indeed the next few minutes. we have just shown our viewers why the relationship is potentially imbalanced. 70 cents —— 75% of american exports go to the us, so you can talk tough but at some point he will have to back off and accommodate the president. not necessarily. it is an imbalanced relationship but there are 35 of the 50 us states that have canada as their principal export market. that relationship is responsible or supporting millions of jobs relationship is responsible or supporting millions ofjobs in the us. there is no indication that donald trump other people around him see canada as a problem for them economically. canada has not been singled out internationally even when donald cup has been attacking nafta. my reading of this is cautious optimism on the economic side. we are focused on brexit here but i wonderfor the side. we are focused on brexit he

and this means a lot of -- millions of jobs for canadians. and good jobs for canadians. so we are always focusing on these jobs, but there are also good jobs, millions of jobs, in the united states that depend on those relationships between our two countries. so when we sit down, as we did today, and as our teams will be doing in the weeks and months to come, we will be talking about how we can continue to create good jobs for our citizens on both sides of the border, and during this exercise, we continue to understand that we have to allow this free flow of goods and services and we have to be aware of the integration of our economies. which is extremely positive for both our countries. this is the focus that we will have in the coming weeks and months to come. prime minister trudeau: we're aware of the fact that much of our economy depends on good working relationships with the united states. good integration with the american economy. and the fact is, millions of good jobs on both sides of the border depend on the smooth and easy flow of goods and services and people

the canadian prime ministers said we differ in approaches.ne expects them to come down and lecture another country. we just want to be a positive example and the world. there are differences no doubt. to the point. was this a diplomatic win for donald trump. i would say that perhaps prime minister trudeau up to the bar of classic diplomacy class diplomacy and await a leader behaves. we actually saw the president for one of the very rare times acting presidential. he stuck to it. he did not go off script. that he he was and the role that he needed to be at that press conference. canadians might be at it disappoint. i think we saw that certainly with thersea may from the uk. and we definitely get to see this on twitter twitter in just a few minutes. from them wanting the prime minister to be stronger. i don't think it's anyone'sç responsibility to say how another country should or shouldn't operate but i think it's important that he expressed the canadian values. the president i was disappointed did not specifically answer the question that th

/canadian relationship. presumably that's what the white house wanted. >> it is clearly what the white house wants. i don't know whether they arranged that in advance or not. but, clearly they wanted to stay on top i. what struck me about this presser was a few things. first of all, the president seems completely not comfortable in these situations. whether it's because he doesn't want to answer the questions or -- it's just -- he's just not comfortable in these situations. it's like somebody put him in a straitjacket and he can't figure out a way out of it. also, i thought that he had difficulty answering the question posed by the canadian journalist about refugees, which was quite a good question, which was do you feel safe because we let in all -- we have open arms and you want to close borders? and he didn't answer the question with refugees. instead he went back to a stock answer on we're keeping out criminals in this country. and -- which is not the same -- you know, answering a different question, bas

i love my canadian friends, my canadian husband. we're the power house. that relationship is very unequal. these are not two countries who share equal burdens. in the nafta relationship, guess who is the junior partner in that? it's not mexico. it's canada. canada has the smaller gdp. when you look at trade, the problem with trade, mexico we have a trade deficit of $63 billion. with canada, it's just 11. 75% of what canada sells into the open market comes into our country. 20% of absolutely everything canadians make comes into the u.s. they need us more than we need them. >> chris, did you get closer to the television when that one reporter asked the question about, we are having our own situation with refugees, but you seem to be welcoming in. what do you think of our policy here? sort of tried to drum up a fight between the two of them. what did you think of the exchange? >> it was very telling that the prime minister, given the opportunity to prove president trump did not. part of that goes to what terry pointed out. neither of them would benefit if th

what can the canadians or might the canadians have do fear from what can the canadians or might the canadians of the free trade agreement?” think about 70% of canada's exports go to the united states. any kind of twitch from the american terry americans and we should do. there could have been much to fear. but if you go over the text of what president trump says, i can take that canadian officials are delighted. it couldn't be closer to what they wanted if they didn't scripted themselves. what president am sad is that they will treat nafta at little, ——— what president trump said. the real problem is mexico, and if you look a prime minister trudeau, you heard courageous silence him on that front while mexico is being passed under the loss. very interesting what about the environment. ——— passed under the environment. ——— passed under the bus. we know that president tom says that climate change is something cooked up by ——— president trump. says that climate change is cooked up by the chinese government. how can they see eye to eye on this? they chose to ignore their differences on this, by mi

what is happening among canadians? are you seeing the rise of a populist right-wing movement in that country -- which has always had a tolerant viewpoint toward immigration. >> know, i think one plus one equals two. the rise of fascism, the rise of islamophobia and blatant white supremacy and patriarchy in the united states and the president of the united states has had a dramatic impact on emboldening .acists here in canada this is one and one make two. that is why for us, we continue to hammer on the prime minister, on matters of climate denial is some, i matters of xenophobia, canadians expect more of our government. our government and canada's international image has always been one of human rights defender. even when they have not even done a good job at that, but they've always perpetuated that image. i think it is important that justin trudeau, you know, walk lightly y as he moves forward ad how deep he decides to get in bed with donald trump. amy: clayton thomas-mueller, thank you for joining us leading , organ

we will go everything we can to ensure the safety of canadians and americans. ladies and gentlemen, president trump, i know that if our countries continue to work together, our people will greatly benefit from this cooperation. >> and time and again that in order to tackle our most pressing issues both foreign and domestic, we must work with our closest allies, learn from each other and stand in solidarity as a united voice. with a level of economic and social integration that is unmatched on the world stage, canada and the united states will forever be a model example of how to be good neighbors. winston churchill once said that long canadian frontier from the atlanta to the pacific oceans guarded only by neighborly respect and honorable obligations is an example to every country and a pattern for the future of the world. that, my friends, is the very essence of the canada-u.s. relationship. i look forward to working with president trump over the coming years to nurture and build upon this historic partnership. once again, it's a tremendous pleasure to be here

that is what canadians will be looking to see. they get along? can trudeau bring the message if reopen nafta, a lot of jobs are dependant upon the two countrys and things like, renegotiating putting in perhaps import duties, some kind of reform, this tax will impact canadian trade with he u.s. and biggest trading partner, so i think if trudeau an get along with trump, i think they will. that will make a difference. host: one issue that has been in quite a bit the past week, the president's travel ban. testegal issues, the legal that has faced. can you talk about reaction to the travel ban and how it impacted canada and specifically the prime minister reaction to that travel ban? uh-huh. he hasn't officially or formally or publicly in person reacted to that travel ban, but right weekend and er the the chaos the ban caused the prime minister trudeau posted a tweet to his official twitter account saying canada would remain, to those fleeing persecution, an open country. if nots a pretty direct, n-person comment on how he views it. we have yet to hea

that comes as a great relief to many canadians. for me, it was a very positive press conference for the president, for the canadians listening to the president. he was very disciplined, he was reading his notes quite carefully, i guess you all noticed. all this is good from the canadian perspective. i think mr. trudeau did a good job and we're probably fairly happy with the result. >> alex, you're a gop strategist, let me ask you about the state visit today. in light of what's happened in the past few weeks, there have been moments, particularly phone calls that we're hearing a lot about where it didn't seem like president trump maybe had handled things diplomatically the way that some would have liked. what do you make of today's visit? >> well, i think it's notable that all of these press conferences that he's been doing with other world leaders are great successes. even going back to the campaign, one of the best days that trump had on the campaign was when he flew to mexico city and had a press conference with the president of

the last thing canadians expect is for itie last thing canadians expect is for me to come down and lectureelves. astonishingly, no questions were either asked or allowed about this man, who was in the room for the news conference. he is general mike flynn, the president's national security adviser, a key white house figure. this was him two weeks ago after iran had tested a ballistic missile. instead of being thankful to the united states in these agreements, iran is feeling emboldened. as of today, we are officially putting iran on notice. thank you. at it is him who is now on notice, after not being entirely candid about conversations he had with the russian ambassador prior to donald trump taking office, and he may well have lied to the vice president about it. so does he still enjoy the president's full confidence? senior white house staff either couldn't or wouldn't stay say. i don't have any information, george, to change anything that has previously had already been said by the white house on this matter. general flynn has served this country admirably and with distinction. with the

the interesting thing that has happened is the canadian stronger is getting a little stronger -- canadianis getting a little stronger. a trade advantage, and even if you put in attacks, it would bring back up to where they were. they will be interested in where the administration wants to go from here. conclusion foregone that they will end up paying for whatever is put on prices because of all of these renegotiation deals? michael: if there is any kind of tax or import duty placed back on goods, it would probably be endorsed by citizens of the country because countries do not generally want to observe it. -- absorb it. companies without a lot of competition or who cannot make enough of their goods, they will pass on those prices. ,ot as bad as a 20% increase you go to nordstrom's just to pick a random department store, to buy, because the duties is -- are placed on the wholesale cost. still a little more money that you would have repeated -- have to pay. vonnie: thank you, michael mckee. bringing you the joint news conference today at 2:00 p.m. time -- and it -- mark: sphinx says the 10

economy, millions of canadian jobs rely on their relationship with the u.s. come upwards of 400,000 people legally cross the border between the u.s. and canada every day. it's not a major source of tension for that said, prime minister trudeau did needle trump subtly back in january about a week before his inauguration where he suggested that canada has some values and priorities the u.s. does not share, then he mentioned that he identifies as a feminist and supports immigration, he's a person who thinks canadian muslims are integral to their society, so he has not been completely restrained when it comes to needling trump but all told, this is an amicable relationship and it will be surprising if any tension comes out. >> jon: he sent the tweet we just heard about from the white house january 28th, justin trudeau, prime minister trudeau talking about canadians welcoming people from oppressed lands and so forth. shortly after that, he sent this tweet, this included a photo of him welcoming a syrian refugees and at one of canada's airports for the photo was fr

can the same word be used to describe his meeting with the canadian prime minister? this is never going to happen, these are two opposites. they couldn't be much more different, justin trudeau and donald trump. they have very differing points of view on some crucial issues, which doesn't really tend to be the case between heads of state, or in this case one head of state and one head of government. they tend to get along really well and tend have the same points of view on almost everything. that they don't agree upon. there won'tes know be a lot trade between canada and the united states. donald trump is not just a candidate, but also a president who has promised to renegotiate nafta, the north american free trade agreement. that includes canada, of course, and response to question a canadian journalist whether donald trump had confidence, he didn't really answer that. more than anything, when it comes to messick -- comes to mexico's participation, it ended up being an elephant in the room. publiclyudeau had criticized the travel immigration refugee brent -- refugee

the canadian prime minister at the white house today. he just got on the plane to leave israel to come to the united states. he tweeted a picture of himself and his wife saying a strong aliengs is about to get even stronger. he is hopefulful a very positive relationship with this president. president trump gave an interview to an israeli paper that said slow down on settlements, meaning to netanyahu, haets not helpful to peace. how much does this factor in? when the president is seeing these reports about general flynn's conduct, he has been silent on it so far about this turmoil or knives out in the white house staff. private communications, even though they work 30, 40 feet from each other. his approval rating, if you look at gallop, his net approval rating is remarkably low. president trump with a negative net 15. minus 15. president obama at this point was plus 42. when you take approval and disapproval, add or subtract, george w. bush was at plus 32. remember, george w. bush won a contested election. bill clinton, plus 17. won with
