Washington DC - One of President Donald Trump's trade advisers, Peter Navarro, lashed out at Canada for alleged interference, claiming that lobbyists should "get the hell out of our country."

Speaking in Washington DC, Navarro expressed a deep distrust of Canada's negotiators and said that while he "loves" the Canadian people, he is unhappy with the conduct of Prime Minister Mark Carney's team.

In particular, he lashed out at Canadian lobbyists on "K Street" who he accuses of political interference ahead of the midterm elections in November. He warned that if Canada "interferes," the country will face significant repercussions.

His comment about "K Street" is in reference to an area in Washington known to be a hub for political lobbyists. According to Navarro, they should all "get the hell out of our country."

"The problem you have is you lobby this country and you've been successful in the past and you think you can keep doing that," Navarro said.

"Memo to Canada: You cannot do that. That game is up and if you interfere in our elections in Maine or Michigan you will pay even more dearly."

The clip was shared widely on social media, and even touted by Navarro himself, who wrote on X alongside the video: "The world gets it now: tariffs bring countries to the table."

"Everyone lined up to negotiate. Canada? They showed up with lobbyists. Message to them? Get the hell out."

Navarro's comments come amid escalating tensions between Washington and Ottawa, the latter having pulled out a trade deal it called "unfair" and "uneconomic" in August.

The move triggered a wave of tit-for-tat tariffs, the Trump administration imposing 50% levies on many Canadian goods and a ban on Canadian alcohol. Carney responded in kind, slamming the US with damaging tariffs on several crucial exports.
