On Sunday, Canada’s outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mentioned that President-elect Donald Trump’s comments about Canada potentially becoming the “51st state” have diverted focus from the significant impact that high tariffs would have on American consumers.
Trump has proposed to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada.
“The 51st state, that’s not on the table,” Trudeau stated in an MSNBC interview. “Yet, the conversation has shifted from discussing the real effects of a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports to entertainment about statehood.”

Trudeau emphasized: “No American citizen wants to see a 25% hike in costs for electricity or oil and gas from Canada. This is an important topic that needs more attention.”
Trump has claimed that should Canada become part of the U.S., taxes would decrease and tariffs would be eliminated.
“I recognize that as a skilled negotiator, he tends to keep people guessing,” Trudeau remarked about Trump’s economic coercion threats aimed at making Canada the 51st state.
Additionally, Trump has inaccurately labeled the U.S. trade deficit with Canada, a resource-rich neighbor supplying the U.S. with commodities such as oil, as a form of subsidy.
Officials in Canada have stated that should Trump enact his proposed tariffs, Canada might retaliate with tariffs on U.S. products like orange juice, toilets, and some types of steel.
During Trump’s first term, in response to tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, Canada imposed its own tariffs on American goods including bourbon, Harley Davidson motorcycles, and playing cards.
“He was elected to make life easier for all Americans and support American workers,” Trudeau said of Trump. “However, these (tariffs) will ultimately harm them.”
Last week, Trump stated that the U.S. doesn’t require oil or any other resources from Canada. However, approximately 25% of the oil the U.S. consumes daily is sourced from Canada, with Alberta exporting 4.3 million barrels of oil per day to the U.S.
Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicates that the nation consumes about 20 million barrels of oil daily, while producing around 13.2 million barrels.
Canada, as a founding NATO member with a population exceeding 40 million, stands as the leading export market for 36 U.S. states. Every day, nearly $2.7 billion in goods and services are traded across the border.
Trump has expressed that he would reconsider his tariff threats if Canada improved its border security management, which he and his team view as a potential access point for undocumented migrants.
Trudeau asserted that less than 1% of illegal immigrants and fentanyl entering the U.S. are from Canada.
Following a meeting with Trump last November at Mar-a-Lago, the president-elect’s Florida residence, Trudeau announced an intention to boost border security funding, hoping to address Trump’s concerns to dissuade a tariff imposition.
Amid challenges posed by Trump’s upcoming second term and his party’s poor polling numbers, the beleaguered Prime Minister of Canada announced his resignation last Monday. He is expected to be succeeded on March 9, when his Liberal party plans to choose a new leader.

The Harley-Davidson Museum is a North American museum near downtown, Milwaukee, Wisconsin celebrating the more than 100-year history of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The 130,000-square-foot (12,000 m²) three building complex on 20 acres (81,000 m²) along the Menomonee River bank contains more than 450 Harley-Davidson motorcycles and hundreds of thousands of artifacts from the Harley-Davidson Motor Company’s 110-year history. The museum attracts an estimated 300,000 visitors annually. The museum opened to the public on July 12, 2008, on a 20 acres (81,000 m²) site in the Menomonee Valley. The museum was built in an historically industrial area of Milwaukee. Prior to Harley-Davidson’s purchase of the land from the city, the site was formerly used by the Milwaukee Department of Public Works, Lakeshore Sand Company, and Morton Salt. A 4 feet (1.2 m) layer of imported soil was added to combat the contaminated soil. New vegetation was planted to restore the landscape to its riparian state. In late February 2006, designs for the museum were unveiled. The designs were created by James Biber, a partner at Pentagram, his team, and Michael Zweck-Bonner, an associate at Pentagram. Abbott Miller, a partner at Pentagram, designed the museum’s permanent exhibitions. The firm designed the museum over a period of eight years. On June 1, 2006, Harley-Davidson began the construction of the $75 million complex with a groundbreaking ceremony that included legendary Harley-Davidson dirt track motorcycle racer, Scott Parker, breaking ground by doing a burnout with a Harley-Davidson XL883R Sportster, instead of with the traditional golden shovel. The site includes parking spaces for 1,000 motorcycles and 500 cars. The Museum’s facade also features a 17-foot (5.2 m)-tall, steel Harley-Davidson sign. The museum’s galleries permanent exhibitions, spread throughout two floors, in addition to temporary exhibits and the motor company’s archives. The complex also includes a restaurant, café, retail shop, and special event spaces. Also on display are historic Harley-Davidson items that tell the company’s story and history, such as photographs, posters, advertisements, clothes, trophies, video footage of vintage and contemporary motorcycling, and interactive exhibits, including 10 motorcycles that visitors can sit on.
The Motorcycle Gallery
On the museum’s upper level, a procession of motorcycles is displayed down the center of the main hall, running the length of the building, with galleries on either side.
The Harley-Davidson Journey
Along the east side of the upstairs galleries, a series of interconnected galleries exhibit the Harley-Davidson’s chronological history. The galleries relate the company’s history from its origins in a 10×15-foot wooden shack to its current status as the top U.S. motorcycle manufacturer, producing more than 330,000 bikes each year. The centerpiece of the gallery is "Serial Number One", the oldest known Harley-Davidson in existence, which is encased in glass. The glass enclosure sits within a floor-embedded, illuminated outline of the backyard shed the motor company was founded in.
The Engine Room
The museum’s second floor galleries begin with the Engine Room. A Knucklehead engine is displayed disassembled into several pieces. The Engine Room also features several interactive touch screen elements that show how Harley motors, including Panhead and Shovelhead motors work.
Clubs and Competition
The Clubs and Competition gallery includes displays and information about Harley-Davidson’s racing history. The gallery includes a section of a replica wooden board track, suspended in the air at a 45-degree incline. The wooden track features vintage video footage of actual board track races, and attached 1920s-era Harley-Davidson racing motorcycles; the bikes that raced on board tracks at 100 miles -per-hour. Fatalities were common, which led to the banning of wooden board tracks for motorcycle racing.
Tank Gallery
The museum’s upper floor exhibits also include the Gas Tank Gallery, formerly part of the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary Open Road Tour. The exhibit displays 100 of Harley-Davidson’s most memorable tank graphics, spanning 70 years, selected by the company’s styling department and reproduced on "Fat Bob" tanks.
Custom Culture
The Custom Culture gallery covers Harley-Davidson’s impact on American and global culture. The centerpiece of the Custom Culture Gallery is "King Kong", a 13-foot (4.0 m)-long, two-engine Harley-Davidson motorcycle customized by Felix Predko. The exhibit also features exact replicas of the customized Harley-Davidson bikes ridden by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper in the 1969 American movie, "Easy Rider", including Fonda’s "Captain America" chopper and Hopper’s "Billy Bike". Two of each of the two choppers were created, and one "Captain America" was destroyed in the film’s production.
