Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations Bob Rae warned proposed U.S. tariffs are a “major threat' to both economies Monday on 'Special Report.'
Canada’s ambassador to the United Nations is dismissing President Donald Trump’s argument that the nation would benefit by joining the United States. 'By the way, we’re not the 51st state,' U.N. Ambassador Bob Rae declared on 'Special Report.' 'We’re a sovereign, independent country. Our leader deserves to be treated with respect, and we deserve to be treated with respect. That’s how we want to be seen.
Canada should become our cherished 51st state,' Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social. 'Much lower taxes, far better military protection for the people of Canada—AND NO TARIFFS!' Trump agreed Monday to pause additional tariffs on Canadian imports for 30 days after a call with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who made some concessions to temporarily stave off the levies.
