Justin Trudeau warns of Donald Trump’s attempt to gulp Canada ‘is a real thing’
Outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sounded the alarm over former US President Donald Trump’s apparent interest in absorbing Canada “a real thing.” Justin Trudeau warns of Donald Trump's interest in making Canada the 51st State The outgoing PM pointed to Trump’s interest in absorbing Canada as the “51st US state”. “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,” Trudeau reportedly told attendees. “But Mr Trump has it in mind that one of the easiest ways of doing that is absorbing our country.” Does Trump want to consume Canada for ‘economic security’ The meeting was convened as Canada braces for the potential impact of Trump’s proposed 25% tariff on all Canadian imports. “Our American friends understand that they need Canada for their economic security, they need Canada for their energy security and they need Canada for their national security,” said Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne.
