Canada proposes to waive tariffs against this country He raised something strange.
The 78-year-old Trump, who will officially return to the White House after his inauguration on January 20, 2025, made the proposal during a three-hour dinner with Trudeau. This meeting took place immediately after Trump announced his decision to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports.
According to Fox News, 52-year-old Trudeau asked Trump not to impose tariffs on Canada because, according to him, this action will “kill” the country’s economy.
Trump also pointed to the US trade deficit with Canada and said, “So your country can’t survive without 100 billion dollars from the US?”
In the envelope, he joked that “with this account, Canada can be the 50th state of America and Trudeau can be its governor”!
According to Fox News, Trudeau and others at the dinner table laughed at this joke with “anxiety and embarrassment”!
Trump said last month that if Canada fails to stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking, he will impose tariffs on the country’s imported goods.
