'Wants benefits of US state': Trump hits back at Canada with '51st state' jibe amid tariff row
Trump's remarks come after Canadian PM Mark Carney stated that Ottawa will respond with a "dollar for dollar" move to match the 50 per cent tariff.
President Donald Trump has responded to Canada's trade dispute by accusing the country of demanding too much, while reiterating his "51st state" comment. Canada has been charging US farmers with hefty tariffs for years, and Trump vowed to put a stop to it. The Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, responded by threatening a "dollar for dollar" retaliation to match the 50 percent tariff imposed by Trump.
Carney emphasized that the specifics would be released later in the week, as Canada focuses on safeguarding its economy and national interests. Trump had announced the 50 percent tariff after trade negotiations with Canada broke down.
