Why Donald Trump is twisting Canada’s arm so much

It seems as if US President Donald Trump has fallen behind Canada, washed his hands and feet, everything has fallen. Sometimes they are putting pressure by applying tariffs, sometimes the water-distribution talks with Canada on the Colombia river are stopping. Along with adopting every tactic of his quiver, he is not leaving a single opportunity in which he can show that he wants to mix this neighboring country in America. On Tuesday, March 11, once again the 78 -year -old Republican leader kept his expansionist desire openly in front of everyone. Wrote on his own social media platform Truth that The only thing that is understood is that Canada becomes the 51st state of America.

The question is, why are Canada’s arm so twisting? Let us first see how much trumps are trying.

Tariff-tariff game

Since Trump’s seating on the President’s chair in January, the two countries are seen in trade war. At first, the US President imposed a tariff of 25% on the goods coming from Canada and Mexico citing concerns over drugs and illegal migrants crossing the US border.

Canada replied. Ontario, the most populous province of Canada, announced a 25% tariff increase on the electricity sent to about 1.5 million US consumers. After this, Trump put 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum coming to the US.

But when Ontario stopped the decision to put tariffs on electricity, Trump overturned after a few hours. Nevertheless, a tariff of 25% on steel and aluminum came into force from Thursday.

Now it was Canada to answer again. Canada has announced 25% on goods worth $ 20.7 billion coming from the US. Canada has joined the European Union. The European Union has also announced a counter -tariff on about 28 billion US goods from April.

Water-distribution talks stopped

According to The Guardian reports, the US has stopped negotiations with Canada on a major water-distribution treaty with Canada. Canada’s Prant- Ministry of Energy of British Columbia said that American officials are “extensive reviews” on the Treaty of the country on the Colombia River. This is a 61 -year -old treaty that controls flood control, power generation and water supply between the two countries.

Why do Trump want to mix Canada in America?

There is no official answer to this, but there are many signs. According to the AFP report, Todd Belt, Professor of Political Science at George Washington University, says, “Most of this regional expansion (Greenland, Panama, Canada) came after the US election. I think someone has put a thing in Trump’s mind that the legacy of the great president is that he acquires new areas. “

Keep in mind that Trump is as much as the President. Trump also sees the acquisition of the 51st state of Canada as a great real estate deal that his Will seal the legacy of the presidency,

Many people also seem to have personal enmity behind the craze of Trump’s Canada. According to the New York Times report, some people on social media have speculated that Trump is sitting in Khar from a 2019 picture in which Justin Trudeau and Trump’s wife Melania are seen kissing Trump Air. The picture became very viral on social media and made a lot of memes.

However, overall the truth is that the people of Canada do not want to join America. According to a referendum survey conducted by the Liger Institute this month, Only 33 percent of Canadians have a positive opinion about AmericaWhile in June 2024, when Biden was the President, the figure was 52 percent. In this survey, 77 percent of the people have said that their opinion about the European Union is positive.

No one knows when the trump will decide. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes are that this passion or craze about Canada, to what extent you say.
