In the White House press briefing on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump was not satisfied after his call with “governor” Justin Trudeau earlier that day. Trump in his social media post also said that Canada’s actions to stop fentanyl smuggling across U.S. border were “not enough.” During the briefing, Levitt repeatedly pointed to the alleged fentanyl traffic as being Trump's justification for the tariffs, despite U.S. law enforcement data showing only 1% of fentanyl seized at the U.S. border came from Canada. Leavitt also confirmed Trump’s intention to annex Canada. “He feels strongly that it would be very beneficial for the Canadian people to be the 51st state of the United States,” Leavitt said.
