Trump and Canadian Prime Minister discuss annexation and trade tensions
President Donald Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House today, where they discussed Trump's desire to annex Canada and the ongoing trade war between the two countries."I still believe that, but it takes two to tango, right? I do, I believe it would be a massive tax cut for the Canadian citizens," Trump said.Carney responded, "Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign the last several months, it's not for sale, won't be for sale, ever."Trump countered, "Time will tell. It's only time, but I say never say never."Carney maintained his stance, "Respectfully, Canadians' view on this is not going to change on the 51st state."The meeting also addressed the tense trade war between the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. has imposed 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other products outside the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, including some cars and car parts, and a 10% tariff on energy and potash. Bill Reinsch from the Center for Strategic and International Studies highlighted the risks, saying, "The biggest risk is the automobile sector, without question. The other issue will be for us, for the American side, dealing with energy."Canada has retaliated with 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, and non-compliant U.S.-made vehicles and parts, along with reciprocal tariffs on products totaling nearly $30 billion. Carney emphasized, "We are the largest client of the United States."Despite Carney's efforts, Trump remained steadfast, stating, "We want to make our own cars. We don't really want cars from Canada."The president also expressed that the U.S. does not want steel or aluminum from Canada, only friendship, and described the trade deficit between the two countries as a "subsidy" that needed to end.
