The imbalance in President Trump’s treatment of America’s closest trading partners may come from his desire to make Canada the 51st state, some Canadians believe.

President Trump announced Thursday that he would grant a 90-day extension to Mexico to allow for further trade negotiations, but the white house did not extend the same courtesy to Canada.

President Donald Trump said the US will put a 35% tariff on some imports from Canada, escalating the tensions between two countries that have impaired one of the world’s largest trading relationships.
