The imbalance in President Trump’s treatment of America’s closest trading partners may come from his desire to make Canada the 51st state, some Canadians believe.

U.S. President Donald Trump has raised the tariff rate on U.S. imports from Canada to 35% from 25%, effective Friday.

The special appellate court is weighing Trump's challenge to a decision by a federal trade court to throw out his tariffs because they exceeded his authority, but its "decision could be weeks away," The Washington Post said. The case is ultimately "expected to end up at the Supreme Court."
