1) A trade deficit is not a loss
2) The deficit with Canada was $27B last year, not the $90B he keeps using
3) The deficit with Canada exists because American companies buy a lot of cheap Canadian oil
4) Uh, what
Trump: I do not want to lose $90 billion for the privilege of allowing Canada to have a healthcare system and other things that they shouldn't have. They spend our money!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The statement in the video misstates the US-Canada trade deficit as a $90B loss subsidizing healthcare; the goods and services deficit was $27B in 2025 and stems mainly from US purchases of Canadian oil while Canada's system is funded by its own taxes.

100 years ago today, the first Winnie-the-Pooh book was published! A.A. Milne and his son were partly inspired by a bear named after the Canadian city of Winnipeg. Watch this classic Heritage Minute to get the full story. youtu.be/MlA6oEs3C18?si=t53R…
