President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday referred to Canada’s top minister as “Governor of the Great State of Canada Justin Trudeau,” threatening to impose major tariffs on imports from Canada.
“It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Justin Trudeau, the Governor of the great state of Canada,” Trump wrote Early Tuesday morning on Reality Social. “I look forward to meeting with the Governor again soon so we can continue our in-depth negotiations on tariffs and trade, which will have truly great results for everyone!”
His statement came after Canada’s Prime Minister commented on Trump’s tariff blackmail and how cruel it could be to American consumers. Trudeau said, “Trump was elected on a commitment to making life better and more affordable for Americans, and I think people south of the border are starting to wake up to the stark reality that putting tariffs on everything from Canada “Life will become more expensive.” But it was said in a tournament halifax Chamber of Trade, corresponding to the associated press.
trump Said in an interview with NBC News He advised Trudeau that Canada should “close” its borders to prevent migrants and drugs from “coming in.” And if he doesn’t like the Canadian border, Trump said he will impose a 25% tariff on imports from Canada. He also made similar blackmail allegations against Mexico.
Trump has complained about fentanyl entering the US from Mexico and Canada, even though there have been fewer seizures around the Canadian border than along the Mexican border. U.S. Customs brokers seized 43 kilograms of fentanyl at the Canadian border at the end of the fiscal year, followed by 21,100 kilograms at the Mexican border.
