Palm Beach:
President Donald Trump again called for Canada to become an American state on Sunday, which further raised tensions with one of the close allies of his country after he had hit hard rates.
While he claims that the United States “pay hundreds of billions of dollars to subsidize Canada”, apparently referring to the American trade deficit with his neighbor, Trump said “without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable country.”
“That is why Canada should become our cherished 51st state,” he wrote on his truth platform for social media, and claimed that the move would “yield much lower loads and much better military protection for the people of Canada – and no rates!”
