Peter Navarro, a high -ranking trade advisor of President Trump, said on Wednesday that Canada was “taken over” by Mexican cartels

“What I want to say to every world leader who is in the arms if we only ask for fairness is that they stop killing our people,” Please, listen to us. “Canada could do a lot more,” said Navarro and discussed the drug flow in the USA about the “special report by Fox News” with the anchor -Bret Baier.

“I hope it will end in the next few days. … and I don’t just say that, ”Ford told Blake Burman from Newsnation to” The Hill “.

“It will be an absolute disaster for both countries, and people will be unemployed, plants are closed, the meeting lines are closed and inflation will take place within days,” he continued later. “That is unhappy. The person responsible for a person, and that is President Trump. “

In his appearance “Special Report” Navarro said that he saw a “press conference” today and a reporter said something nearby … only four pounds Fentanyl on the Canadian border. “

“Let me do a little fentanylmath for you,” added Navarro. “Four pound kills one million people.”
