Trump Picked The Wrong Fight With Canada

Kevin O’Leary (investor, entrepreneur, and Shark, ABC’s “Shark Tank”) joins Chris Cuomo for a wide-ranging conversation about Donald Trump’s economic challenges heading into the midterms, the escalating trade fight with Canada, and what America needs to compete in the AI and energy race. O’Leary argues that despite strong markets and corporate performance, Trump has a problem at the kitchen table: small-business owners and everyday Americans are still feeling the effects of high energy, food, and operating costs. He explains what he thinks Trump could change before November, including easing tariffs and focusing more directly on the economic pressures facing small businesses and the heartland.

Chris and Kevin also dig into Trump’s increasingly contentious relationship with Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney, whom O’Leary calls “smart as hell.” They debate whether Trump’s approach to tariffs and trade is ultimately hurting American interests, how Carney has benefited politically from standing up to Trump, and why the economic relationship between the U.S. and Canada makes a prolonged trade war difficult for both countries.

Plus, O’Leary discusses his massive investments in energy and AI infrastructure and responds to the growing backlash against data centers over their use of water, power, and other community resources.
