US President Donald Trump commented today, Thursday, on Canada's announcement of its intention to recognize the state of Palestine in September next month.
Trump wrote in a post on his platform "Truth Social": "Wow! Canada has just announced its support for the establishment of a Palestinian state. That will make it very difficult for us to make a trade deal with them.. Oh Canada!".
Higher tariffs on countries that have not signed a trade agreement with the United States.
Canada will face a 35% tariff on most goods it sells to the United States starting from Friday if an agreement is not reached today.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney had earlier announced that his country would recognize the state of Palestine during the UN General Assembly session in September 2025.
Carney's statement read: "Canada's decision is based on the commitment of the Palestinian Authority to undertake necessary reforms, including President Mahmoud Abbas' pledge to carry out radical reforms in the governance system, hold general elections in 2026 without Hamas participation, and disarm the Palestinian state".
