Read our privacy policy President-elect Donald Trump yet again poked fun at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after jokingly suggesting that his country become the 51st state of the United States. “It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday night. The former president appeared to confirm the report when he posted a seemingly AI-generated image of himself with the Canadian flag with the caption “Oh, Canada!” Trudeau warned Monday that Trump’s second stint in the White House would be “a little more challenging” than the first, before going on to say that Trump’s proposed tariffs would backfire. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago for dinner to talk tariffs “Trump got elected on a commitment to make life better and more affordable for Americans, and I think people south of the border are beginning to wake up to the real reality that tariffs on everything from Canada would make life a lot more expensive,” the prime minister said.
