Trump mocks Trudeau, calls him ‘Governor of the great state of Canada’
The HinduU.S. President-elect Donald Trump took a jab at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the social media platform Truth Social, describing him as the "Governor of Canada". Mr. Trudeau flew to Mar-a-Lago last week for a dinner with Mr. Trump to discuss the President-elect's warning to impose a 25% tariff on Canada if its government failed to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and illicit drugs from the country into the United States. In a post on Truth Social mocking the Canadian Prime Minister, Mr. Trump said, "It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada." During the dinner, when Mr. Trudeau said that such a tariff would destroy the Canadian economy, the President-elect reportedly told him to make Canada the 51st state of the United States.
