“I get it. President-elect Trump is a real estate tycoon. He’s made billions. But that property is not for sale. It’s as simple as that,” Ford told Fox News’ Jesse Watters Tuesday night.
Ford has made a number of U.S. network television appearance touting the importance of the Canada-U.S. trade relationship in recent weeks, including another appearance on CNN on Monday night.
His appearance on Fox News came after a Tuesday press conference in which Trump said he was considering using “economic force” to acquire Canada as a U.S. asset and later shared a map of the two countries with the American flag covering both on social media.
Trump also referred to the U.S.-Canada border as an “artificially drawn line.”
In the interview, Watters told Ford that Canada should “consider it a privilege to be taken over by the United States of America” and even said that he finds it “personally offensive” that Canadians seem to find that concept “repellant.”
But Ford pushed back and said that what the countries need to do is work more closely together.
