Without America subsidizing Canada it would cease to "exist as a viable country," according to President Donald Trump, who repeated his call for Canada to "become our cherished 51st state."
"We pay hundreds of billions of dollars to subsidize Canada; why? There is no reason," Trump posted Sunday on Truth Social as he unleashed his 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada and 10% from China.
Trump continued his push for Canada to join the U.S. as a state, saying its people would benefit from "much lower taxes," "far better military protection," and "no tariffs!"
