From The US-Canada Trade War Begins: What it Means for our Economy (Dawood Khan)

For over 100 years, the United States and Canada have collaborated closely due to their shared border and robust connections in trade and security. But in recent years, their relationship has faced some challenges. Nevertheless, relations have been strained considerably since President Trump began his global Tariff war. At present, President Donald Trump states that the U.S. will immediately terminate trade talks with Canada and impose a new tariff rate on the neighboring country within the next week. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, cited a decision by Canada to leave in place its digital services tax on American companies, which he cast as "a direct and blatant attack" on the United States. This announcement comes in the wake of repeated suggestions that Canada become the “51st” state of the United States.
