Trudeau rejects Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st state

dawn.com — January 8, 2025 at 07:01 AM UTC

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rejected US President-elect Donald Trump's suggestion of using "economic force" to make Canada the 51st state. Trudeau stated, "There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell" that Canada would join the US. Trump's comments included a threat of a 25% tariff on Canadian imports, citing Canada's trade surplus. Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly criticized Trump's remarks, saying they reflect a misunderstanding of Canada's strength. Trudeau announced he would step down soon amid pressure from lawmakers. The next election must occur by October 20, with polls indicating a likely win for the Conservative Party.
