Canada responds to Trump’s idea of merging Canada with the US
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has responded to Donald Trump’s suggestion that he would use “economic power” to unite the US and Canada, saying, “There is no chance of that.”
In this context, Trump has repeatedly mentioned Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States since taking office. Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump said, “When the lines are removed, it will help your national security.”
Trump has threatened to impose “significant tariffs” on Canadian goods if steps are not taken to increase security at the US-Canada border. This has created a tense political situation in Canada.
In response to Trump’s threat of tariffs, the Trudeau government is considering imposing counter-tariffs on the US, citing the economic damage such decisions would cause to the trade relations between Canada and the US.
Prime Minister Trudeau noted in his tweet that “the workers and communities of our two countries are mutually benefiting.”
Trump also expressed concern about drug trafficking along the Mexican-Canadian border, and Canada has pledged to strengthen security measures in response.
