The Trump Effect: Canada Bows to Demands, Plans to Buy Submarines to Off-Set Tariffs, and Other Good News

America’s global influence is reaching new heights.

Each day brings fresh evidence that the world is adjusting to strong American leadership.

The international community is learning that resistance to America First policies is futile.

The Associated Press reported:

Canadian officials are now openly discussing major concessions to avoid Trump’s proposed tariffs.

Their sudden willingness to compromise shows how quickly nations adapt when faced with determined American leadership.

Canada’s ambassador to Washington, Kirsten Hillman, revealed a dramatic shift in strategy on January 13.

She announced:

Canada is ready to purchase more American goods, including an entire fleet of submarines and other major military hardware.

The move comes after Trump threatened 25% tariffs on Canadian products. He also suggested Canada could become America’s 51st state.

While liberal media mocked these statements,

they produced exactly the response Trump wanted.

Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith visited Mar-a-Lago this past weekend. She openly endorsed buying more American goods. This proves Trump’s negotiating pressure works at both federal and provincial levels.

Canada’s border security stance has completely transformed. They’ve implemented a billion-dollar border security plan. The timing speaks volumes about Trump’s influence.

Recent data proves why action was needed:

– Border patrol arrests along the northern border skyrocketed by 140% in 2024.

– That’s nearly 24,000 illegal crossings that needed to be addressed.

Ambassador Hillman admitted to AP reporters:

We have moved really quickly, I’ll be honest, because President Trump focused the mind.

That’s diplomatic speak for:

Trump was right.

The numbers tell the story. America faced a $75 billion trade deficit with Canada in 2023. That’s American money flowing north instead of supporting American workers.

Canada currently purchases 70% of its military equipment from U.S. manufacturers. Under Trump’s pressure, that percentage could increase significantly. The submarine fleet alone represents billions in potential contracts for American workers.

Critics claimed Trump’s negotiating style would damage international relationships. Instead, it’s producing exactly what he promised—better deals for America.

Canada’s ambassador tried to dismiss Trump’s “51st state” comment as negotiating tactics. But actions speak louder than words. Canada is already making concrete changes to please the incoming administration.

The results are clear:

Trump’s America First approach works.

Other nations respect strength and clear demands. They respond favorably to decisive leadership.
