Based on Ontario, Canada, placing a 25% Tariff on “Electricity” coming into the United States, I have instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA, ONE OF THE HIGHEST TARIFFING NATIONS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. This will go into effect TOMORROW MORNING, March 12th. Also, Canada must immediately drop their Anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250% to 390% on various U.S. dairy products, which has long been considered outrageous. I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada. If other egregious, long time Tariffs are not likewise dropped by Canada, I will substantially increase, on April 2nd, the Tariffs on Cars coming into the U.S. which will, essentially, permanently shut down the automobile manufacturing business in Canada. Those cars can easily be made in the USA! Also, Canada pays very little for National Security, relying on the United States for military protection. We are subsidizing Canada to the tune of more than 200 Billion Dollars a year. WHY??? This cannot continue. The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State. This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear. Canadians’ taxes will be very substantially reduced, they will be more secure, militarily and otherwise, than ever before, there would no longer be a Northern Border problem, and the greatest and most powerful nation in the World will be bigger, better and stronger than ever — And Canada will be a big part of that. The artificial line of separation drawn many years ago will finally disappear, and we will have the safest and most beautiful Nation anywhere in the World — And your brilliant anthem, “O Canada,” will continue to play, but now representing a GREAT and POWERFUL STATE within the greatest Nation that the World has ever seen!

基於加拿大安大略省對輸往美國的電力徵收25%關稅，我已指示商務部長對來自加拿大的鋼鐵與鋁產品課徵總計50%的關稅(額外加徵25%)。加拿大是全球關稅最重的國家之一，這項新政策將於3月12日(明日早上)正式生效。此外，加拿大必須立即取消對美國乳製品高達250%至390%的反美農業關稅，這早已被公認為極其不公平的做法。
我也將宣布電力領域國家緊急狀態，讓美國能迅速採取必要措施，對抗來自加拿大的濫用行為。如果加拿大不取消其他長期存在的不公正關稅，我將於4月2日進一步提高對進口加拿大汽車的關稅，這將實質終結加拿大的汽車製造業，因為這些汽車完全可以在美國生產！
此外，加拿大在國防支出上貢獻極低，長期依賴美國軍事保護，美國每年補貼金額超過2,000億美元。為什麼我們要繼續承擔？最合理的方式，就是讓加拿大成為美國第五十一州。這樣所有關稅與邊界問題都將自動消失，加拿大人民將獲得更低稅率與更高安全保障，並成為最偉大國家的重要一部分。從此，曾經劃下的邊界線將不再存在，而《O Canada》將作為美國偉大一州的國歌繼續響起！
