“No, of course not. Of course not, Bret,” replied Navarro, shifting the blame to China. “But what we want to see is Canada and Mexico crack down on China. China, for whatever reason, and there is a lot of speculation as to whether they mean to do us harm with this, they don’t seem to care, OK? So it’s up to Mexico and Canada to help us do this.”

LOL WUT?

For those unclear whether the "Criminal Trade Advisor" is a criminal and a trade advisor, or an advisor on criminal trade:

Navarro, Trump’s senior counselor for trade and manufacturing who was jailed for contempt of Congress last year after refusing to testify about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, was speaking about U.S. tariffs on our northern neighbor with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Wednesday evening.

As for the loser's claims, American guns are a much bigger problem in Canada than Mexican cartels.

And most of the guns the Mexican cartels use in Mexico come from the US as well.
