joining me now is chrystia freeland.he served as canada's deputy prime minister and finance minister under trudeau until she resigned in december. her move helped bring down trudeau's premiership. she's now one of the frontrunners to replace him in upcoming party elections. chrystia freeland, pleasure to have you on. so donald trump says thank you. donald trump says that the reason he's doing this, this is, you know, the ask and this is the justification, is the fentanyl trade, the the fentanyl that is coming in from canada and mexico. the bizarre part about this is not a lot of fentanyl comes into the united states from canada. i mean, i think the latest numbers we have, it's, you know, 43,000, 43 pounds coming out of canada. and 21,000 pounds coming out of mexico. so what you've negotiated with donald trump before over the the nafta renewal renegotiation. why is he doing this to canada? what is what is the motivation? it can't really be fentanyl. >> you're absolutely right, fareed. the pretexts are utterly ludicrous. t

canadian prime minister candidate and former deputy prime minister of canada, chrystia freeland, thank very much. it's good to see you come back. i have a feeling this story isn't going away anytime soon. thank you very much for being on this morning. this morning, there are growing concerns about a purge within the fbi. bureau employees have been instructed to complete a questionnaire by today about their involvement in any criminal cases related to the january 6th capitol attack. it is the latest sign that the trump administration plans to deliver on its promise to make dramatic changes within the fbi. on friday, at least eight senior fbi executives were told by the trump administration to resign or they would be fired. nbc news has learned. the fbi's acting director also was told to turn over the names of every fbi employee involved in investigating the january 6th rioters, but he pushed back, promising agents he would follow the law and existing fbi policies. ryan riley, who covers the justice department and federal law enforcement for nbc news, joins us now, along with nbc news na

ontario saying this morning that the province is canceling all contracts with starlink, while chrystia freelandace justin trudeau as party leader, is talking about 100% tariffs on teslas. so the question is whether that sort of pressure, plus any reaction that we see from the markets today will be enough to get trump to change his mind. guys, for midnight tonight. guys. >> yeah i'm megan again. so much to keep track of you know including of course what we think the ask is. you know and i think many people are trying to understand is it really about border security and fentanyl and prohibiting that from getting into the country, or is it more about the numbers? do you have any sense in terms of the conversation and where there might be common ground? >> just a little bit of sense so far. when the white house was asked by reporters over the weekend what exactly the president would be looking for, they spoke very vaguely about this. they said there would be a wide range of metrics, and that included zero american deaths from fentanyl and only legal immigration. so not the kind of thing that can ha
