Trump extends open invitation to Justin Trudeau, says ‘make Canada the 51st state’

Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau meet: Newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on goods from countries such as Canada and Mexico. Trump’s announcement caused an uproar in trade relations between these countries. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with Donald Trump in Florida on Friday, Fox News reported. During this period, Trump suggested to Trudeau that if Canada could not solve these problems, it should consider becoming the 51st state of the United States. After Trump’s remarks, the relationship between the two countries began a new controversy.

“The Canadian economy will collapse”

According to Fox News, Trump clearly told Trudeau that if Canada cannot solve the border problem and trade deficit, then we will impose a 25% tariff on Canadian products. Trudeau tried to persuade Trump on this. Trudeau said that if this was done, the Canadian economy would collapse. In response, Trump replied, “Is your country created to slander the United States?”

Trade deficit of US$100 billion

Trump clearly told Trudeau that Canada has a $100 billion trade deficit with the United States that must be eliminated or we will be forced to make difficult decisions. He said that if Canada wanted to, it could become the 51st state of the United States and we would appoint Justin Trudeau as governor. To which Trudeau said, no, the prime ministership is better. Justin Trudeau was shocked by Trump’s comments and couldn’t understand what was happening.

Tariff increases will affect many industries

Canada is the United States’ second largest trading partner. The automotive, agricultural and energy sectors could be affected by higher tariffs. This decision will have far-reaching consequences for the Canadian economy. Not only that, the Trump administration has always been strict on immigration issues. Trump believes Canada’s immigration policies will weaken U.S. security. At the same time, Canada views immigration as part of its national identity. But now Trump’s statement has also been given greater meaning.
