Four—the Yukon, Columbia, Porcupine, and Kootenay—begin in Canada and flow into the United States.

Pocotrader, the Columbia River doesn't even come close to California.

Trump mentioned Canada because he's making shit up on the spot, as usual.

California about once every fifteen to twenty years floats the idea of tapping into the Columbia River.

Isn't going to happen for a couple reasons.

Physics, cost.

If you look at all the possible paths to pump water (and I do emphasize pump) south in the end it eats up a LOT of electrical power.

California for example burns up to about 17% of it's total electrical power consumption within the state to just move water around.
