Trump Proposes 60 Percent Tax Cut for Canada

Donald Trump has made a provocative offer to Canada, proposing a 60 percent tax cut if the country agrees to become the 51st US state. He has mocked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by referring to him as 'governor' and suggested that Canadian businesses would thrive under US governance. While some Canadians express support for Trump's proposal, citing economic benefits, a recent survey shows that 82 percent oppose the idea of merging with the US. Trudeau has downplayed Trump's comments as jokes, despite the seriousness of their implications. Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc confirmed that Trump’s remarks were not meant to be taken seriously during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago. The discourse highlights a divide in Canadian opinion, with certain demographics showing more openness to Trump's vision than others.
