[00:00:00]That future should include a new partnership with Canada. A true partnership that reimagines cooperation in specific sectors that are deeply challenged by global competition.

[00:00:12]A partnership with a different Canada, a stronger Canada. At a time of a global energy crisis, Canada provides the United States with reliable power, with critical minerals that help fuel American growth. Let's be absolutely clear.

[00:00:27]Canada strong will help make America great again. The world is is undergoing a rupture. Um led and there's positives and challenges within this. Led by the United States, technological change is accelerating a pace we have not seen in our lifetime.

[00:00:45]The US is transforming all of its commercial relationships, as is its right. The world is becoming more divided and dangerous.

[00:00:54]And Canada recognized these developments earlier than most.

[00:00:58]And our response reflects the core lesson that we've taken from these tectonic shifts.

[00:01:03]Namely, that is that we have to take care of ourselves and we have to be true to ourselves. As the United States approaches its 250th birthday, happy birthday, as the most in advance um as the most but it approaches this moment as the most dynamic, resilient, and inventive country the world has ever seen.

[00:01:26]As a country whose founding values of liberty, democracy, justice, and openness should continue to serve as guides to its future and the future of the world.

[00:01:35]That future should include a new partnership with Canada. A true partnership that reimagines cooperation in specific sectors that are deeply challenged by global competition.

[00:01:47]A partnership with a different Canada, a stronger Canada, a more confident Canada. At a time of a global energy crisis, Canada provides the United States with reliable power, with critical minerals that help fuel American growth.

[00:02:02]99% of US natural gas imports, 85% of electricity imports, 60% 60% of crude oil imports.

[00:02:12]That is mutual strength.

[00:02:15]Let's be absolutely clear.

[00:02:17]Canada strong will help make America great again.

[00:02:24]We have made specific practical proposals to the US administration.

[00:02:30]Consider aluminum.

[00:02:32]It's basically electricity in an ingot.

[00:02:36]And Canadian exports to the United States are the energy equivalent of 10 Hoover dams.

[00:02:42]With America's growing energy needs because of the incredible transformation here, does it really make sense to build the gigawatts here needed to replace Canada?

[00:02:55]On automobiles, Canada is far and away America's biggest customer. And an integrated North American market for production is the best and most durable way to confront intense truly intense global competition.

[00:03:09]On critical minerals, with our endowments from potash, nickel, copper, uranium, lithium, cobalt beyond, Canada can be the most reliable supplier that America needs to put affordable food on the table, strengthen national defense, and and meet the exploding demand to power AI.

[00:03:30]Canada is America's largest customer.

[00:03:33]We buy more goods from America than China, Japan, and Germany combined.

[00:03:38]Those common interests run through our supply chains, where 70% of Canadian exports are inputs to American cars, homes, aircraft, machinery, finished goods, creating hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars of US value add.
