Canada slapped back at President Donald Trump as he made bizarre threats about trade deficits, a new report shows.Canada will no longer discuss sharing critical minerals as an asset with the United States, Politico reported Saturday.“I don’t get mad," Energy and Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson reportedly said. "I get even."Hodgson — referencing the drunken frat-boy classic "Animal House" — was referring to the North Coast Transmission Line, slated to go live by 2032 and double electricity capacity in British Columbia, according to the report. The transmission line will power new critical mineral mines near the Alaskan border — which Hodgson was reportedly quick to point out. "Nothing would make me happier than just saying, ‘You know what, we’re going to use all our electricity here,'" he said. "We’re going to build new mines, new processing facilities."Meanwhile, Trump has been mounting threats against Canada, claiming Friday he could cut trade off entirely and cause Canada's economy to collapse. "Canada would be in a heap of trouble," said Trump. "If I say, 'We're not going to trade,' that means 95 percent of their trade gets wiped out."His comment was subjected to multiple fact checks from critics who argued Trump didn't understand trade deficits and noted Mexico does not provide the U.S. with Hot Tamales, a candy produced in Pennsylvania. Politico accused Trump of a similar misrepresentation."Although Trump keeps insisting otherwise, the U.S. relies heavily on Canadian resources," the news outlet reported. "Washington views Canada’s stockpiles as a bulwark against Chinese dominance of the global market in critical minerals essential to defense, quantum computing, artificial intelligence and virtually every piece of tech."
