Trump's Annexation Threat: Trudeau Calls It "A Real Thing"Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has warned that Donald Trump may be serious about annexing Canada, suggesting the former U.S. president wants access to the country's critical minerals.
Speaking at a closed-door Canada-US Economic Summit, Trudeau claimed Trump has repeatedly floated the idea of making Canada the 51st U.S. state, even referring to him as "Governor Trudeau."
Trump's threats come alongside a proposed 25% tariff on Canadian exports, with a temporary 30-day reprieve in exchange for stricter border security.
An Ipsos poll shows 80% of Canadians oppose joining the U.S., while officials in Canada are exploring ways to strengthen economic independence amid rising tensions.
