The meeting between Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump has become a topic of discussion across the world. In this meeting, Trump advised Trudeau to make Canada the 51st state of America.
America’s newly elected President Donald Trump has announced to impose 25 percent tariff on goods coming from countries like Canada and Mexico. After Trump’s announcement, trade relations between these countries have increased. According to Fox News, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met Donald Trump in Florida on Friday. Meanwhile, Trump suggested to Trudeau that if Canada cannot resolve these issues then it should consider becoming the 51st state of the United States. After this statement of Trump, a new discussion has started on the relations between the two countries.
‘Canada’s economy will collapse’
According to local media reports, Trump bluntly told Trudeau that if Canada could not fix the border problem and trade deficit, we would impose a 25 percent tariff on Canadian products. Trudeau tried to explain this to Trump. Trudeau said, if you do this, Canada’s economy will collapse. To which Trump replied, Is your country built to humiliate America?
trade deficit 100 billion dollars
Trump bluntly told Justin Trudeau that Canada’s $100 billion trade deficit with America should be eliminated, otherwise we will be forced to take tough decisions. He said that if Canada wants, it can become the 51st state of America, we will make Justin Trudeau the governor there. On this Trudeau said, no, the post of Prime Minister is better. Justin Trudeau was shocked by Trump’s comment, he did not understand what happened.
Many sectors will be affected by increase in tariff
Canada is America’s second largest trading partner. The increase in tariff may impact automobile, agricultural products and energy sectors. This decision will have a deep impact on the Canadian economy. Not only this, the Trump administration has always been strict on immigration. Trump believes that Canada’s immigration policy could weaken America’s security. Additionally, Canada considers immigration as part of its national identity. But, now bigger meanings are also being extracted from Trump’s statement.
