Recently, Trump talked about Trudeau, saying Trudeau said that the US had a trade surplus with Canada, but Trump said Trudeau left out energy and lumber exports to the US. Is that true though? It seems like some people disagree with Trump's numbers:

Also what does Trump want from Canada, the US has a habit of putting tariffs on Canadian lumber, that's not new, but he what does he want to do about Canadian energy exports, he approved the Keystone pipeline. Does Trump want to micromanage the Canadian economy?
