In his post taking aim at #Canada, #Trump again cited a figure he framed as a “subsidy” the #UnitedStates gives its neighbor. The number he gave, $200 billion, appears to be a reference to the US’ #TradeDeficit with Canada. But that is vastly inflated: Last year, the #US had a $63.3 billion trade deficit with Canada, according to US official data. The US ran a trade #surplus with Canada if you excludes Canadian #oil exported to America.
