‘No Tariffs If…’: Trump MocksTrudeau, Offers Canada to Join U.S a 51st State Amid Tariff War

Oneindia

In a provocative statement amid ongoing tariff tensions, former President Donald Trump mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by suggesting that Canada should become the United States' 51st state. Trump argued that the U.S. pays billions of dollars to subsidize Canada and that the country no longer needs Canada's resources, such as energy, cars, or lumber. He offered a proposal with "no tariffs" in exchange for Canada's admission into the U.S., claiming it would lead to lower taxes and stronger military protection for Canadians. The comments come as Trump continues to escalate his tariff war with both Canada and other nations.      #TrumpTariffs #ChinaTariffs #ChinaTrumpTariffs #ChinaSueUS #ChinaUSWTO #MexicoTariffs #CanadaTariffs #TrumpTradeWar #USCanadaMexicoTariffs #TariffTensions #TradeWarEscalation #USMexicoTariffs #USCanadaMexicoTrade #TrumpTradePolicy #WTODispute #ChinaVsUS #TrumpVsChina #USTradePolicies      #TrumpTariffs #ChinaTariffs #ChinaTrumpTariffs #ChinaSueUS #ChinaUSWTO #MexicoTariffs #CanadaTariffs #TrumpTradeWar #USCanadaMexicoTariffs #TariffTensions #TradeWarEscalation #USMexicoTariffs #USCanadaMexicoTrade #TrumpTradePolicy #WTODispute #ChinaVsUS #TrumpVsChina #USTradePolicies  Also Read  Here's Why Donald Trump Imposed Tariffs On Canada, Mexico, China As Trade War Escalates :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/heres-why-donald-trump-imposed-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-as-trade-war-escalates-4060153.html?ref=DMDesc  Trudeau Makes Emotional Pitch Before Announcing Tariffs On US: 'We Fought And Died With You' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trudeaus-makes-emotional-pitch-before-announcing-tariffs-on-us-we-fought-and-died-with-you-4060139.html?ref=DMDesc  Canada Follows Mexico, Trudeau Imposes 25% Retaliatory Tariffs On US As Trump Escalates Trade War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/canada-follows-mexico-trudeau-claps-back-at-trump-with-25-retaliatory-tariffs-as-us-escalates-trad-4060073.html?ref=DMDesc    ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.336~GR.124~
