Trump proposes Canada as a U.S. state

Former President Trump has suggested that Canada should become a U.S. state, calling the border an "artificial line." This marks a shift in U.S.-Canada relations since the Covid-19 border closures five years ago, which had strained ties. Currently, the U.S. and Canada are engaged in a tariff war, with leaders exchanging criticisms. The tensions are rooted in past conflicts between Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, affecting cooperation on various issues. The Covid-19 pandemic's impact on the border has led to a significant change in the relationship, with both countries now facing challenges in trust and collaboration.
