On Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump made fun of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by referring to him as a "governor" and dubbing Canada a "great state," which is just another indication that the incoming president believes this nation should join the US.During his dinner with Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago last month, Trump reportedly made a joke about Canada becoming the 51st state. Trump stated in an interview with NBC News on Sunday that the United States might as well become a state if it continues to accrue large trade deficits with Canada.During his dinner with Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago last month, Trump reportedly made a joke about Canada becoming the 51st state.

Trump stated in an interview with NBC News on Sunday that the United States might as well become a state if it continues to accrue large trade deficits with Canada."Eating supper with Great State of Canada Governor Justin Trudeau the other night was enjoyable. I'm excited to visit the governor again soon so we can continue our in-depth discussions on trade and tariffs, which will have absolutely amazing outcomes for everyone. Trump stated in a message on social media.Why Trump is making this annexation joke public is unknown, but it may be because Trudeau implied on Monday that Canada is ready to take action against the United States if Trump imposes a severe 25% tariff on all Canadian imports. "We will, of course, as we did eight years ago, respond to unfair tariffs in a number of ways and we're still looking at the right ways to respond," Trudeau stated, referring to Canada's first-term response to Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs.
