WATCH | Trump Canada Annexation, Says U.S Should ‘Annex’ Canada, Claims $200B Subsidy Burden - video Dailymotion

Trump Canada Annexation—US President Donald Trump has doubled down on his claim that the US should annex Canada, citing a $200 billion annual subsidy to its northern neighbor. Canadian PM Mark Carney has strongly rejected the idea, vowing to defend Canada’s sovereignty and fight Trump’s escalating trade war. Ottawa has imposed 25% tariffs on $30 billion in US imports, retaliating against Trump’s own 25% tariffs. The US president argues that Canada relies on American subsidies and that its exports, including cars, lumber, and energy, are unnecessary. The dispute continues to intensify.      #Trump #Canada #Annexation #USCanadaRelations #TradeWar #MarkCarney #JustinTrudeau #Politics #Economy #USNews #CanadaNews #DonaldTrump #WhiteHouse #Tariffs #Imports #Exports #Sovereignty #GlobalTrade #BreakingNews #WorldNews  Also Read  Canada Initiates Discussions with EU to Decrease Dependence on US Defence Equipment :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/canada-eu-reduce-us-defense-reliance-011-4099629.html?ref=DMDesc  Canada's Carney Engages with European Allies Amid Trump’s Threats to Sovereignty and Economy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/canada-carney-meets-european-allies-trump-targets-sovereignty-economy-011-4097587.html?ref=DMDesc  Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney Engages with European Allies Amid Trump's Economic Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/canada-carney-meets-european-allies-trump-targets-sovereignty-economy-011-4097563.html?ref=DMDesc    ~HT.336~

00:00They have up to 400 percent, they have a couple of tariffs at 400 percent.

00:30Nobody knows that.

00:30Nobody talks about that.

00:32And remember, with Canada, we don't need their cars.

00:35We don't need their lumber.

00:36We don't need their energy.

00:37We don't need anything from Canada, and yet it costs us $200 billion a year in subsidy

00:42to keep Canada afloat.

00:44So when I say they should be a state, I mean that.

00:46I really mean that because we can't be expected to carry a country that is right next to us

00:56on our border.

00:57It would be a great state. It would be a cherished state.

01:00The taxes for Canadian citizens would go down in less than half.

01:06They don't spend money on military

01:08because they think we're going to protect them.

01:10There are many things that they do, like icebreakers.

01:13They want us to provide icebreakers for them.

01:15Oh, that's wonderful.

01:17So, the Canada — they're very tough traders, too, Canada.

01:21I want to just tell you, all the people —

01:23they're tough traders. They trade very tough.

01:26And, you know, the expression I use is,

01:30some people don't have the cards.

01:31I used that expression about a week and a half ago, right?

01:34Somebody was negotiating who didn't have the cards,

01:36who's now, I think, saying that he wants to do it.

01:39And he's — I think we're going to have a big deal on that.

01:42Very special something. We got to make a deal on that.

01:45But Canada has been a very nasty negotiator

01:48against the United States.

01:49Took advantage of the United States for a long time.

01:52But nobody knows that they were getting 270 percent

01:55tariffs on dairy products.

01:57The Press.

01:58The Press.

02:00I don't think I've heard you say this

02:01in all of the talk about Canada becoming the 51st state.

02:04Are you concerned that if they became the 51st state,

02:08they would be a very, very blue state?

02:11Very, very big and very, very blue.

02:12No, they might be. But it would —

02:15you know, you have that artificial line

02:17that goes — that straight artificial —

02:19that looked like it was drawn by a ruler.

02:21Somebody with a — I don't mean a ruler, like a king.

02:23I mean, like a ruler, like a ruler.

02:26This way. And it's just an artificial line

02:29that was drawn in the sand or in the ice.

02:33And you know what I'm going to tell you, Peter?

02:34Just — you add that to this country,

02:38what a beautiful landmass.

02:39The most beautiful landmass anywhere in the world.

02:42And it was just cut off for whatever reason.

02:45It would be great. Now, is it liberal?

02:48Maybe. But, you know, a conservative,

02:49until I got involved —

02:51because I don't care who wins up there.

02:53And, frankly, probably would do better with the liberal

02:55than the conservative, if you want to know the truth.

02:57But just a little while ago, before I got involved

03:01and totally changed the election —

03:03which I don't care about,

03:06probably it's to our advantage, actually —

03:08but the conservative was leading against —

03:11I call him Governor Trudeau —

03:13the conservative was leading by 35 points.

03:15So, you know, so I don't know about that.

03:18I think Canada is a place like a lot of other places.

03:21If you have a good candidate, the candidate's going to win.
