I wonder, does this administration still consider Canada to be a close ally ally of the United States? Well, I think Canada is a neighbor. They are a partner. They have always been an ally. Perhaps they are becoming a competitor now.
But as the president also laid out in his Truth Social post today, he believes that Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state of the United States of America. And I actually looked into some of the research about the cost of living in Canada. And the cost of living is much higher than it is here in the United States of America.

The average cost of a home in Canada is much higher. In Quebec, the highest tax rate for an income of $150,000 or more is 53.3%, more than half of Canadians' incomes they are being taxed on. So the president has made it clear that he believes Canadians would be better served economically, militarily, if they were to become the 51st state of the United States of America. Reagan.

The president is, again, responding to the fact that Canada has been ripping off the United States of America and hardworking Americans for decades. If you look at the rates of tariffs across the board that Canadians have been imposing on the American people and our workers here, it is egregious. In fact, I have a handy-dandy chart.

here that shows not just Canada, but the rate of tariffs across the board. If you look at Canada, since you brought it up, American cheese and butter, nearly 300% tariff. You look at India, 150% tariff on American alcohol. You think that's helping Kentucky bourbon be exported into India? I don't think so.

But you asked why President Trump wants to make a deal. I would remind you, he's the master of the art of the deal. He is America's dealmaker in chief.

One on the reprieve that is being granted to these three automakers for one month on the tariffs on Canada and Mexico. How did the president settle on one month? The reciprocal tariffs will go into effect on April 2nd. And he feels strongly about that no matter what. No exemption. So that's where the one month comes from. So does he expect them to be able to shift production within a month?

He told them that they should get on it, start investing, start moving, shift production here to the United States of America where they will pay no tariff. That's the ultimate goal.
