Negotiations behind the scenes are probably tough. Canada is not letting the US push them around.
So, Trump acts tough and applies pressure publicly.
1 - maybe it works and Canada caves
2 - if Canada does not cave, he can sign whatever and simply announce that it is the best deal ever (like he did with NAFTA / USMCA). He has already shown his supporters how hard he fought.
3 - if anybody makes a big deal that he got a bad deal, he can always break the agreement (like he did with USMCA)
