Trump's Canada claims debunked in CNN fact-check
TL;DR
CNN’s fact-check argues Trump’s Canada claims are distorted: Canada’s unemployment rate was 6.4% in July (not 10%), Canada remains a major US trade partner with deep energy links, and most US agricultural exports to Canada are tariff-free (with only some dairy/poultry protections); Canada does have a military role and a NORAD partnership, contradicting Trump’s broader assertions.
