It might seem unbelievable, but some Americans, including President Donald Trump, really think it’s possible that Canada, or parts of it, might join the United States. Joel Pollak, the California-based editor of Breitbart News and author of “The Agenda: What Trump Should Do in His First 100 Days,” tells Brian Lilley that the president’s unexpected, confrontational tariff pressure on Canada isn’t just another of his many early tactics to keep rivals and partners unbalanced while he aggressively advances a drastic agenda (although it is that, too). As Pollak explains, tariffs are Trump’s way to get us all following his radical new rules, as he overturns conventional thinking on everything from free trade, to foreign aid, to China, to Gaza, to … annexing Canada.
