States his audience is the American people, aiming to leverage their goodwill to influence politicians. Argues that Canada supplies goods for US production, not final consumption, and that buying more Canadian resources creates American jobs.

Says it's an addition, not a replacement. Will continue fighting domestic affordability while adding strong leadership on securing tariff-free US market access.
