President Donald Trump has said that Canada's support for a Palestinian state will make any trade deal between Washington and Ottawa "very hard."

In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to comments made by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney that Canada was planning to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations in September.

Trump wrote: "Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine. That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh' Canada!!!"

Canada should not have backed down until deal was done IMHO

A done deal means absolutely nothing when it's negotiated with a serial liar who will tear it up when the mood strikes him.

I think that's very wishful thinking - Trump isn't the disease, he's just the figurehead and symptom. And that's assuming that there will be a free and fair election, which is a very big assumption as fascists don't tend to like elections. They're going to be a dangerous, unstable country for a long time.

Not just that but if he isn't dead he ain't going nowhere in three more years.
