One of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade advisers is threatening repercussions for Canada if it "interferes" in the upcoming midterm elections — though it's not clear what he anticipates the country would do to impact the vote.

Peter Navarro, who has lashed out at Canada in the past , made these latest remarks during a talk at an economic conference in Washington on Tuesday.

Navarro was speaking generally about the Trump administration's trade policy when the conversation turned to the ongoing dispute with Canada. He blasted Canadians on "K Street" — an area in Washington known as a hub for lobbyists — telling them to "get the hell out of our country."
