U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is in Asheville, North Carolina, today, hosting a two-day G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting.

During an interview with CNBC’s Sara Eisen on Monday morning, Eisen asked whether markets should treat the latest U.S.–Canada tariff fight as a “tit-for-tat trade war.”

Bessent took the opportunity to dismiss Canada’s leverage and mock Ottawa’s posture.

Sara Eisen: And finally, are you meeting with your Canadian counterpart here?

Secretary Bessent: I am.

Sara Eisen: Because I guess markets wondering if we’re now in a tit-for-tat trade war with Canada.

Secretary Bessent: Well, I don’t think you can be in a tit-for-tat with someone who’s 13 times larger than you are.

Sara Eisen: They say they’re doing okay.

Secretary Bessent: What else are they going to say?

You know, look, I think this is very unfortunate that Carney has turned this into a political shouting match. I mean, we’re not at war with Canada.

How are we going to be at war with Canada?

What are they going to take their two submarines from the Edmonton Mall and sic them on us?

You know, he came to power on an anti-American, anti-Trump agenda. He was 20 points behind in the poll, and then he started this.

And it’s unfortunate that he’s not doing what’s best for the Canadian people.

He’s doing what is best for the Party, what’s best for Mark Carney.

And in the long run, the Canadian people are going to see through that.

And, you know, I will say that they were offered the best trade deal of any, any country on the globe, and he chose to walk away from it at the last minute.
