Vice President Dan Vance stated that the U.S. is imposing "fair rules" on Canada to benefit American businesses, particularly in Maine. He asserted that Canada relies more on the U.S. economy than vice versa, and that "playing hardball" is necessary to achieve fairness.
“Really the only two countries that have really retaliated against the United States have been Canada and China. I think people were shocked to hear that.”
“And so what we're going to do is just impose some fair rules, really force the Canadians to come to the table and give Maine businesses the same treatment they give their own businesses.”
“That's really all we're asking is for basic fairness. And yeah, we've got to play a little hardball to get to that fairness, but that's that's what we're trying to do here.”
