Trump’s talk of annexing Canada isn’t a joke—it’s about critical minerals: Trudeau
FirstpostCanada could face long term political challenges with the United States even if it manages to avert U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. At an economic summit on Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that he believes the US president is serious in his intention to annex Canada, a claim he linked to Trump’s interest in securing access to Canada’s critical mineral resources, according to a source cited by The Globe and Mail. “I suggest that not only does the Trump Administration know how many critical minerals we have but that may be even why they keep talking about absorbing us and making us the 51st state,” the prime minister told the gathering as reported by The Star. He has also mockingly referred to Trudeau as the “governor of the 51st state.” Trump on Monday said he would delay the imposition of tariffs on Canadian exports by 30 days in return for concessions on border and crime enforcement, in particular cracking down on fentanyl smuggling.
