U.S. President Donald Trump met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House on Thursday. While the main part of their discussions revolved around the Russia-Ukraine war and a trade agreement between the two countries, Canada appeared to be a hot button issue.

Trump has consistently commented about his neighbours to the north, saying he wants to turn Canada into the 51st state, and even referring to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “governor.” He announced a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods imported to the U.S. on Feb. 1, which were supposed to go into effect on Feb. 4. Canada countered, saying it would implement the same for American goods entering Canada. The tariffs were paused temporarily. However, Trump has resumed his plan, he said in a post on Truth Social, with tariffs on Canadian goods expected to be implemented next week.
