A video circulating on X claims to show President-Elect Donald Trump announcing plans to annex Canada. This video is identified as AI-generated and not a real speech. The video features Trump making jokes about Canada and threatening tariffs. However, it has been confirmed as a deepfake created for satire. In reality, Trump recently met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to discuss economic issues and tariffs. There are no actual plans to annex Canada, although Trump made a light-hearted comment about statehood during their dinner.
