Stuff you'll never see nor hear from the "news" people. Bureaucrats from Canada claim that this is not actually the case--that the are "tariff rate quotas." No doubt they can explain the difference. And no doubt they can explain why no US bank is allowed in Canada.

NATO leader tells Trump it plans to stay out of his plans to acquire Greenland

Trump said the U.S. is in the process of ordering 48 icebreaking ships. He said Canada had asked to use the ships.
"Canada wants to know if they can use them, I said, well, you got to pay for them," Trump said. " ... Canada pays very little for their military because they think we're going to protect them."
Canada spent about $27 billion on defense in 2024-2025, according to the Parliamentary Budget Office. The U.S., with a population about nine times the size of Canada, spent about $850 billion during the same time period.
Trump said if Canada joins the U.S., it could be part of the icebreaker deal, but will have to pay if it remains a separate nation. The U.S. has one remaining heavy-duty icebreaker and plans to replace it are behind schedule.
