75 Trump: "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."

I wouldn't be surprised if it's more just to get more out of them in trade under the guise of this.
It shouldn't be relevant to a trade deal at all.
Yes that's right, but if it can be used as an EXCUSE to squeeze a rival for more out of a deal, are you saying you WOULDN'T try to?
Especially when they are, nonstop, backtalking you behind your back?
This doesn't make any sense. Getting a good trade deal for his country is all the excuse he needs.
Yes but remember, this is Trump...
He can be petty AND get results in business, and you think he wouldn't twist the knife a little to make Canada double down on getting involved in middle east politics?
