Trump has advocated Canada’s accession to the United States several times. At the same time, on January 7, he said that he would not use military force for this, but would rely on economic force. In particular, he said that he would reduce taxes for Canadian citizens by 60% if the country became the 51st state of America
In turn, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote on January 7 on the X social network that “there is no chance” that Canada will become part of the United States.
Under this post, American billionaire Elon Musk, whom Trump plans to appoint co-head of the “Department of Government Efficiency” in his new administration, left an insulting comment about the Canadian prime minister, hinting that Trudeau had announced his resignation.
Trump began jokingly referring to Trudeau as “the governor” after meeting with the Canadian leader about lowering taxes on imports of Canadian goods. During a dinner with the prime minister, Trump joked that Canada might just join the United States as the 51st state and Trudeau would remain governor.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on January 6 that he is stepping down as leader of the Liberal Party. He will remain in the post of prime minister until a candidate is chosen to replace him.
The government crisis in Canada began at the end of last year. On December 16, the Minister of Finance of Canada Khrystia Freeland resigned. Her conflict with Trudeau escalated as a result of the controversy surrounding the possible introduction of tariffs by the United States of America.
