— U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent compared Canada to a “little yipping dog” antagonizing his 110-pound German Shepherd, saying the larger dog ignored it until “one day she’d had enough.”Bessent used the analogy to criticize Prime Minister Mark Carney, saying Canada had been offered a “great trade deal” but walked away for political reasons.
He argued the fallout would have little impact on the U.S. economy and said, "I would like someone to show me the statistical significance of the Canadian tariffs on US prices. I’m happy to debate them."
