Trump says Canada would have no tariffs as 51st state, as observers brace for trade war

President Donald Trump repeated his suggestion that Canada become the 51st on Sunday, noting that it would not be subjected to his incoming tariffs should the country join the U.S.

"We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why? There is no reason," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. "We don’t need anything they have. 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," Trump added. "Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada – AND NO TARIFFS!"

Trump has for weeks suggested the United States should take control of Canada through economic pressure...............

This sort of unnecessary drama is why we suffered through four years of Biden.  There is no reason to pick a fight with the Canadians.  And as for his frozen lebensraum, he should have disclosed this plan before the primaries.
