Donald Trump’s talk of annexing Canada and imposing tariffs rattles neighbor to north

“Rep. George Latimer, D-Rye, said the proposed annexation of Canada has antagonized our close ally while the tariff threats have set the stage for a damaging trade war that could raise prices on a slew of products.”

“’Every day is another ridiculous proposal from this administration,’ said Latimer. ‘Canada is a sovereign nation and one of our closest allies. Instead of antagonizing an ally and almost starting a trade war, maybe President Trump should focus on lowering costs for New York families.’”
