Trump says Canada wants ‘benefit’ of U.S. state without being one as trade war escalates

U.S. President Donald Trump made his first comments on the failed trade agreement with Canada and appeared to revive his "51st State" rhetoric.

In his first comments since trade talks broke down, President Donald Trump said Canada "wants the benefits" of being a U.S. state "without being one." The president's brief post on his Truth Social platform early Sunday comes after new 50 per cent U.S. tariffs on a range of Canadian goods took effect.
