Trump raises Canada to 35 percent
Trump hikes tariffs on Canada to 35%, announces rates from 10% to 40% for dozens of countries.

The move represents a giant shakeup in the US's trade order, outlining a 35% tariff on Canada (up from 25% currently) as well as rates above 30% on nations from South Africa to Switzerland.

The new tariff rate on Canada is under a different order focused on illicit drugs and and will take effect Friday, as originally planned.

For other nations, the order also allows for an additional delay, with lower, previous rates applied to goods that are loaded onto ships before Aug. 7 that then enter the United States before Oct. 5.

not concerned for junk in USMCA
CHramp is just an aktor/puppet of the witches that run the world order out of lies hoaxes
The ironic thing is that fentanyl primarily comes from Mexico.

Canada's contribution to the problem is almost non-existent.

Trump wants Canada to become the 51st state.

Good. Punish any country trying to drag its own citizens into an Orwellian state.

Hell, they wanna ours down. Canada is demanding 0% tarriffs while running their own version of h1b visas with no limits alongside basically smuggling material THROUGH them to us

At least Zimbabwe has paved roads and internet.
Sucks 'cause Canada didn't really do anything wrong except for not meeting their N.A.T.O. obligations, and they even tried to clean up what little Fentanyl did come from them. I don't think Trump would've won if he ran on the platform of messing with Canada 'cause the nations had a relatively strong bond prior to his term. He even negotiated the U.S.M.C.A.

If he really wants a 51st state under his term, he should advocate for it to be Puerto Rico. It's bigger in both size and area than many of the smaller states, it is already U.S. territory and they have actually had referendums showing they want statehood.

The fact that it is not a state is actually somewhat of an embarrassment too. I mean the rallying cry of the U.S.A. was no taxation without representation and sure, they don't pay most federal income, but they still pay into some of the service programs (it's not less taxation without representation). More importantly the reason it wasn't inducted as a state once conquered was some racist fear of miscegnation between the Puerto-ricans and the mainlands, which is a crappy reason by modern sensibilities. This should be a no-brainer decision. Puerto Rico has been in the line for a long time.

All they'd have to do is afford it a couple of senators, an appropriate number of representatives in the house and stitch a star in the flag. Maybe start charging them federal income tax too, which would be good for revenue and cut down on the debt.

I mean seriously, as of the last census it would have been the 27th largest state by population, and the third smallest state by landmass (it's bigger than Delaware and Rhode Island.

Granted, I suppose there are reasons for the U.S.A. to want Canada. Annexing canada would make the resultant nation the largest in the world, and give it an abundance of resources to exploit.

But Canada doesn't want in at this point in time and Puerto Rico has been waiting in line for quite some while now. Makes a heck of a bunch more sense than Greenland. Greenland barely has enough people to populate a smallish city throughout all of its costal settlements. He wants to give maybe 57,000 people two senators and at least one representative in the house. v_v
