Part 2/10:
Trump's commentary regarding Canada stands out as the most provocative. During a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort, he insinuated that the United States could benefit from removing the "artificially drawn line" that separates the two nations. Citing a trade deficit amounting to $55 billion, he asserted that the U.S. expends exorbitant resources ensuring Canada’s defense. Trump’s proposals suggest that Canada should be integrated into the U.S. as the 51st state, sparking outrage among Canadian leaders.
