President Trump reiterated his position on Canada's financial relationship with the U.S., stating that the U.S. incurs $200 billion in annual subsidies to Canada that he deems unnecessary. In a meeting with NATO's head, he emphasized a reluctance to reconsider tariffs, categorically stating that the U.S. should no longer accept being 'ripped off.' He expressed his affection for Canada and its people while suggesting that it would be better as a state within the U.S., arguing against the costs of maintaining the current relationship.
Look, we've been ripped off for years, and we're not going to be ripped off anymore. ... We're spending 200 billion a year to subsidize Canada.
To be honest with you, Canada only works as a state... it would be one of the great states anywhere.
