Ever since his return to the White House, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly called Canada ’51st state of USA’, and Canadian PM Justin Trudeau Governor Trudeau. Now, a New York Times report has said that President Trump wants to revise the boundary between USA and Canada.
Trump had 2 phone conversations with PM Trudeau on February 3, where he told the Canadian PM that he wants to revise the border between the 2 North American countries. Right now, the border between USA and Canada is as per a 117-year-old treaty which was signed under the then Republican presidency of Theodore Roosevelt and the UK’s King Edward VII.
The treaty was signed in 1908 when Canada was still a British colony. However, Trump reportedly told Trudeau that the treaty is not valid and they should have a re-look at it.
Since returning to power, Donald Trump has also threatened Canada with high tariffs on Canadian goods reaching the United States.
