Biden said he is "proud" to call Trudeau his "friend" and would be forever grateful for his "partnership and leadership." In a post on X, Biden stated, “The last time I visited Ottawa, I said that the United States chooses to link our future with Canada because we know that we'll find no better ally, no closer partner, and no steadier friend.” “The same can be said of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trump also referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “governor” of the “Great State of Canada.” In a rambling press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump said he would not rule out using military or economic coercion to acquire Greenland and the Panama Canal, and vowed to bring Canada to heel.
