Beyond Trump’s 51st state joke: Would Canadian economy crash without US trade?

In 2018, when Trump proposed a 25% tariff on Canadian goods, the Canadian Prime Minister promptly boarded a plane to Florida to address the issue in person. The meeting, held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, was meant to avert economic disaster for Canada. What Trudeau likely didn’t expect was Trump’s candid observation: “If Canada can’t survive without ripping off the US, maybe it should just become our 51st state.”
