On February 3, 2025, President Donald Trump reiterated his proposal for Canada to become the 51st U.S. state, emphasizing that such a move would eliminate tariffs and offer Canadians benefits like lower taxes and enhanced security. This suggestion follows the U.S. imposition of a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico, and a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, aiming to address trade imbalances and national security concerns. Canadian leaders have firmly rejected the idea, asserting their nation's sovereignty and independence.
