“If Canada unites with the United States, there will be no tariffs, taxes will drop dramatically and Canada will be completely safe from the threat of Russian and Chinese ships that constantly surround it. Together – what a great nation it can be!” Trump wrote on “Trud Social.”

“Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st state.”

“The United States can no longer suffer from the huge trade deficits and subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat.”

“Justin Trudeau knew this and resigned.”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation, telling the media that “internal battles” show that he “cannot be the best option” for the next election, world agencies reported. Trudeau specified that today he had asked the chairman of his Liberal Party of Canada (LPC) to begin the process of selecting a new leader.

In the last days of 2024, Donald Trump said several times that Canada should become the 51st US state, and Trudeau – governor. The reason is the trade deficit between Washington and Ottawa, which, according to the newly elected American president, amounted to $ 100 billion. Economists were quick to refute him, saying that if all goods and services are calculated, it is actually a trade surplus, and the United States benefits both directly and indirectly from trade with its northern neighbor.

At the same time, Trump threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on all Canadian goods if the government did not stop “the flow of migrants and drugs into the United States.”
