Trudeau says Trump is serious about making Canada a US state Canadian prime minister reportedly said Trump sees annexation as a way to access the country’s vast natural resources.
Mr Trudeau also has promised to appoint a new fentanyl czar, who will serve as the primary liaison between the Canadian and US governments, even though less than 1 per cent of the fentanyl and illegal immigrant crossings into the US come from Canada.
Donald Trump’s desire to annex Canada and make it the 51st US state is a “real thing” due to the country’s abundant natural resources, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau reportedly said at an economic summit.
Mr Trump on Monday agreed to a 30-day pause on threats to impose 25 per cent tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, with another 10 per cent tariff on Canadian oil, natural gas and electricity.
“Yes, I can confirm that Trudeau said his assessment is that what Trump really wants is not action on fentanyl or immigration or even the trade deficit, what he really wants is to either dominate Canada or take it outright,” Mr McGowan wrote.
