Donald Trump said the US protects Canada, faces trade deficits, and doesn’t receive Canadian cars or farm products, so won’t take theirs in return.
US President-elect Donald Trump proposed using “economic force” to pressure Canada into becoming the 51st state, citing concerns over US military assistance and trade imbalances.
He reiterated that he intends to put “substantial” tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico.
