Trump reiterates Canada should become 51st state as tariffs loom

() President Donald Trump has extended a solution to Canada ahead of tariffs against the Commonwealth country going into effect on Tuesday.

In a post to Truth Social on Sunday, Trump proclaimed that Canada should annex itself to the United States; a suggestion he has made before.

“We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why? There is no reason. We don’t need anything they have,” Trump wrote.

“We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable Country. Harsh but true!

“Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada AND NO TARIFFS!”

Both China and Canada have vowed to retaliate against tariffs imposed by the 47th president. However, it seems Trump has no plans to stop the campaign promise after signing an executive order on Saturday.

They go into effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on Tuesday. Canada will be taxed 25% on imports, and so too Mexico. Whereas China will be taxed 10% on all imports. Energy imported from Canada, including oil, natural gas and electricity, would be taxed at a lower 10% rate.

Several industries are expected to be impacted, including the automotive, gas, tech and toy sectors, among others.
