Canada eyes MAJOR MOVE as US trade war ESCALATES

IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THANK YOU, TREY. AS TRADE TENSIONS WITH NORTHERN. NEIGHBORS CONTINUE, CANADIAN. PRIME MINISTER MARK CARNEY IS. COMMENTINGS ON PRESIDENT. TRUMP'S CALLS TO MAKE CANADA. THE 51st STATE, AND CARNEY HAS. A SPECIAL ENVOY TO EUROPE TO. SCOPE OUT THE MOST AMBITIOUS. POSSIBILITIES SHORT OF FULL.

MEMBERSHIP IN THE EU AND CARNEY. EVEN SUGGESTING A TITLE. ASSOCIATE MEMBER OF THE. EUROPEAN UNION. THE EU IS OPEN TO THE IDEA. PRESIDENT TRUMP SLAMMED THE. EUROPE LEFT WARD LURCH. >> I HATE TO SEE WHAT'S. HAPPENING IN EUROPE, ON TRADE. ON ENERGY AND I HATE TO SEE E. WHAT'S HAPPENING ON.

IMMIGRATION. OOH, THAT IMMIGRATION, WHAT. YOU'RE DOING TO YOURSELVES, YOU'RE JUST KILLING YOURSELVES. CHARLIE: THE SUN EDITOR AT. LARGE, HARRY COLE JOINS US NOW. GREAT TO SEE YOU THIS MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING. CHARLIE: CANADA IS UPSET ABOUT. TRUMP, OFFENDED BY TRUMP'S. WORDS AND UPSET HE'S TRYING TO. SORT OF LEVEL OUT THE TRADE. IMBALANCES BETWEEN OUR TWO. COUNTRIES AND NOW THEY WANT TO. RUN TO THE EU. HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK? >> WELL, AS WHO IS FROM A. COUNTRY THAT SPENT THE LAST.

DECADE ARGUING ABOUT THE. ASSOCIATE MEMBER OF THE. EUROPEAN UNION TO BE A PART OF. THE UNION AND I CAN TELL CANADA. RIGHT NOW, RUN FOR THE HILLS. IT'S CUMBERSOME AND TEDIOUS AS. YOU CAN GET. I EXPECT THAT CARNEY KNOWS WHAT. HE'S DOING, HE'S KIND OF. TROLLING THE PRESIDENT RIGHT. NOW AND BLOCKING THE TRADE. NEGOTIATIONS AND ALMOST CUTTING. THEIR NOSES OFF TO SPITE THEIR. FACE IN HIS ONGOING ROW WITH. PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THIS IS A. GREAT BUTTON FOR THE CANADIANS.

TO PRESS. THEY KNOW QUITE HOW MUCH HOW. THE PRESIDENT WHO TALKED ABOUT. THE EUROPEAN UNION IN STARARK. TERMS, ONCE HE CALLED IT A. CRIMINAL RACKET AND HE KNOWS. WHAT BUTTONS HE'S PRESSING WITH. THE PRESIDENT. AND IT SHOWS THE DRIFT THAT. CANADA HAD OVER THE LAS YEAR. AND POINT BACK TO DAVOS EARLIER. IN THE YEAR, AND WHEN THE. PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS ON.

GREENLAND INFURIATED SOME, AND. SEIZE CONTROLLED BY N.A.T.O. MEMBER DENMARK. THAT REUNITED THOSE LEADERS. WITH THE CANADIANS. I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO. HAPPEN, BUT IT'S INTERESTING. HE'S WILLING TO THROW AT THAT. GRENADE OUT THERE. CHARLIE: INDEED. OF COURSE, PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO. IS NOT EVER AFRAID TO THROW. GRENADES OF HIS OWN, IN IRELAND. EARLIER THIS WEEK, YESTERDAY,

TALKING ABOUT THE NEED FOR IN. HIS EYES, FOR THE IRISH PEOPLE. TO REUNIFY. WILL LISTEN TO THIS. >> I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE ANY. PROBLEMS, BUT I'D D LOVE TO SEE. IT UNIFIED. I HAVE FRIENDS ON BOTH SIDES. GREAT PEOPLE. THEY'RE IRISH PEOPLE, HOW CAN. THEY BE BAD, RIGHT? I'D LOVE TO SEE IT UNIFIED. I THINK GREAT, A GREAT FEATHER.

IN EVERYBODY'S CAP IF THAT. HAPPENED, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. EVENTUALLY, AND I THINK IT. WOULD BE A GREAT THING. HOW CAN IT BE BAD. CHARLIE: U.S. PRESIDENTS. USUALLY TRY TO AVOID THIS. TOPIC, BUT TRUMP WANDERS RIGHT. INTO IT. BUT DOES HE HAVE A POINT? >> I THINK THIS IS A COMMENT. THAT BRITISH WOULD THINK WOULD. BE FROM JOE BIDEN, ABOUT THE. MOST ANNOYING THING THAT A.

PRESIDENT COULD SAY FROM THE. PERSPECTIVE OF THE BRITISH. TRUMP SAID BOTH SIDES, COMPLEX. ARRANGEMENT FOR THE POSSIBILITY. OF IRISH REUNIFICATION, IT. WOULD REQUIRE IN IRELAND AND. NORTHERN IRELAND. IN NORTHERN IRELAND THE POLLING. SUGGESTS THERE'S STILL A STRONG. PRESENCE, STRONG FORCE WITHIN. THE COMMUNITY WHO WANT TO STAY. AS PART OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. IT'S ABOUT SELF-DETERMINATION. AT THE END. I DON'T THINK WE'RE ANYWHERE. NEAR THAT NEED FOR A POLL ON.

OTHER SIDE OF THE BORDER. BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT THE. CALLS AND PLEAS ARE REALLY. THERE FROM THE PEOPLE WHO. ACTUALLY LIVE IN NORTHERN. IRELAND, THAN DARE I SAY, PASSING COMMENTATORS. CHARLIE: SELF-DETERMINATION IS. A GOOD THING AND I WISH THAT. BRITISH POLITICIANS OR ALL. POLITICI.
