Donald Trump’s desire to turn Canada into the 51st state may be driven by the country’s vast freshwater resources, with Canada possessing around 20% of the world’s fresh water. The US often suffers from water shortages, which could be alleviated by accessing Canada’s water supply. Trump’s interest in Canada’s water is not new, as the US has made attempts to tap into Canadian water resources for decades, including through NAFTA negotiations and companies trying to export water from Canada to the US. Canada has laws in place to prevent bulk water exports, including the Transboundary Waters Protection Act, but Trump’s administration may try to negotiate changes to the USMCA to include water as a tradable good. The US could potentially use economic pressure, such as tariffs, to force Canada to allow bulk water exports, giving Canada the choice between a devastating recession or giving in to Trump’s demands.
Certainly not worth the cost. If it were, the parties could simply negotiate a price. But currently not even Oregon, Washington, or northwest California’s own rivers send water south.
Trump lied about the recent Southern California fires. The California state water system is currently at good levels overall, and the fire area problems were local.
We could just start by stopping companies like nestle from using all the water. I kinda have a feeling the dams were opened just to make the water situation worse
