President Donald Trump has again threatened Canada in their emerging trade war, repeating that the neighbouring country should become "our cherished 51st state".

The US leader said this weekend that he is imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico.
The two countries then hit back with retaliatory tariffs and today spoke of working together.

Speaking on his Truth Social platform on Sunday afternoon, Mr Trump said: "We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why? There is no reason.

"We don't need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use."

He claimed that without the "massive subsidy" Canada "ceases to exist as a viable country".

He added: "Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada - AND NO TARIFFS!"

Mr Trump later said any potential pain caused by the trade war would be worth it.

"Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!). It will all be worth the price that must be paid," the US leader said.
