Summary
Donald Trump reiterated his claim that Canada would be better as the U.S.’s 51st state, citing trade imbalances and lower taxes.
He also announced new 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, including from Canada, despite a recent 30-day reprieve.
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has not formally responded, but a government source said they await official confirmation.
Trump criticized Canada’s defense spending and border security, despite recent Canadian commitments.
Canada previously retaliated against similar tariffs in 2018 before a 2019 trade deal resolved the dispute.
I think Americans who don’t agree with trump should raise the Canadian flag.
When someone go outside, beat people up, come home, they are mostly likely will beat whoever at home when they speak up.
Throughout last year, the US didn’t stop supporting the war crimes of Israel, either by providing them with money, weapons, and sending American soldier to the area just in case. Canadian didn’t say much and kept quiet. Now Trump picking up the legacy of the United States foreign policy back home.
Canada should make it clear that they are not taking these statements as joke and expell the US ambassador.
Just imagine if Indea or China or even Russia said the same.
What crazy is that, I didn’t hear any statement so far from Canadian allies to denounce trump statement.
