No offense, but I had to check that out (i.e. tying tariffs to submission for statehood). I think the reference is to this:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2y811g1dgo

He also criticised Canada for relying on the US for "military protection", and reiterated that he wanted the country to become the 51st US state.

He added that it "would make all tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear" if Canada were to join the US as a state.

So it's not exactly a conditional to remove tariffs, but a side-effect of becoming a state. Perhaps a minor distinction, but we aren't conservative media, so we strive for accuracy.

And it would still need to be at least 10 states (if not 13). Not just one. I do think Canada should ramp-up the electricity tariff (or just cut it off). Don't give the Felon anything. It just encourages him to do worse.
