"The prices of electronics would definitely go up."

The tariffs will "increase prices for everything that's imported, and that includes food."

Trump tariffs would "raise prices even more for consumers."

"I am extremely confident that food will get more expensive."

Trump's tariffs would "increase the cost of US manufacturing."

"Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee."

"Tariffs would disrupt supply chains and increase production costs."

"America is not Canada, and Canada never, ever will be part of America in any way, shape or form."

"Canada will never be the 51st [US] state."

"There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States."

"Barring a military blitzkrieg to seize Ottawa, the chances of Canada becoming the 51st state are approximately zero."

"We are not going to be annexed [by the US]."

"Canada is not for sale and will never be the 51st [US] state."

"I think that the Canadian people, many of them, would love to join the United States with no tariffs, with lower taxes."

"The artificial line of separation [between Canada and the US] drawn many years ago will finally disappear."

Will Canada Join the United States of America as the 51st State?

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Thursday he will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting Aug. 1, escalating from the current 25% rate, citing Canada's alleged failure to stop fentanyl flow and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2025/canada-threatens-tariff-hike-on-us-steel-if-no-deal-in-days">trade retaliation</a> as justification for the increased levies.

Trump also criticized Canada's dairy supply management system, falsely claiming tariffs up to 400% on U.S. dairy products while offering to eliminate tariffs if Canadian companies manufacture products within the U.S. instead of importing them.

The tariff threat was conveyed in a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, posted on Truth Social, warning that any Canadian retaliatory tariffs would be added to the 35% base rate. Trump stated that the levies could be modified based on the relationship between the countries.

The U.S. currently maintains various tariffs on Canadian goods, including a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum, a 25% tariff on automobiles, and plans to implement a 50% tariff on copper imports. In response, Canada has retaliated with $43 billion worth of counter-tariffs on American products.

Data shows minimal fentanyl enters the U.S. from Canada, with only 0.16% of seized fentanyl coming from the northern border between 2022 and 2025, while a Manhattan Institute report found 99% of fentanyl pills came from Mexico, contradicting Trump's primary justification.

The tariff threats are based on false premises since data clearly shows minimal fentanyl comes from Canada compared to Mexico. Canada has already invested $1.3 billion in border security and appointed a fentanyl czar, demonstrating genuine commitment to addressing U.S. concerns through cooperation rather than confrontation.

These tariffs are necessary to protect American workers and address Canada's unfair trade practices. Canada has failed to stop the fentanyl crisis that's killing Americans and instead retaliated with tariffs rather than working cooperatively. Trump's action is justified as the trade deficit with Canada poses a threat to the American economy and national security.
