In an interview shortly before Canada's election, President Donald Trump boasted about his influence on the Conservative Party's collapse in polls, attributing it to his tariffs. This occurred despite the Conservatives leading for months prior. Analysts anticipated a Conservative victory, yet Trump’s comments and aggressive trade policies seemed to have shifted Canadian sentiment. In a tongue-in-cheek suggestion, he also floated the idea of Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, further complicating diplomatic relations and perceptions during a critical election period, where the Liberal Party unexpectedly retained power.
President Trump attributed the Conservative Party of Canada's election loss to his tariffs, stating he disliked their lead and claimed he had turned the outcome contentious.
Just days before Canada's election, Trump claimed responsibility for erasing the Conservative Party's lead, inviting Canada to consider becoming the 51st state.
