The US president Donald Trump Has aimed several boots towards neighboring Canada. In a new interview with Fox News The president believes that the country is “one of the most horrible countries” to have and dealing with.
Trump has in a previous statement on the platform Truth Social expressed a desire to make Canada the “51st US state”.
“We subsidize Canada by more than $ 200 billion a year. Why ??? This can’t continue. The only thing that makes sense is that Canada becomes our fifty state,” the president wrote.
He has also threatened to introduce 50 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum against Canada, which he later backed off, according to the News Channel CNBC.
In the interview with Fox News, the criticism continues. Among other things, Trump talks down Canadian goods and says the United States does not want their trees, cars or energy.
In addition, harsh criticism is directed at Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau And how his administration handled negotiations on tariffs.
“One of the widest countries to deal with is Canada,” Trump told Fox News.
Donald Trump also believes that Canada does not spend enough on his defense. During his previous term of office, Trump demanded that all NATO countries spend at least two percent of their GDP on defense-a requirement that most countries have not met.
Canada is also below the two percent requirement.
– They don’t give us anything. And they are the worst to negotiate with, Trump told Fox News.
