Connect Canada to the US? Great idea! wrote Trump. He threatened the country with high tariffs

Trump already joked about the fact that Canada should become the 51st state of the USA at the end of November during a meeting with Trudeau. The Canadian prime minister then visited Florida in response to Trump’s statement that he could introduce a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods upon his return to the White House. He published the current post about joining Canada to the US on Wednesday shortly after three in the morning EST.

“No one can answer the question why we subsidize Canada in the amount of more than 100 million dollars a year. It doesn’t make sense! Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st state… I think that’s a great idea,” Trump said.

Trudeau is currently on the brink of an abyss. On Monday, he was abandoned by his right-hand woman, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystie Freeland, who criticized the cabinet for fiscal irresponsibility and warned that Trump’s “joke” must be taken “extremely seriously.” “That means we have to keep the budget balanced so we have the reserves we might need for the upcoming tariff war. This means avoiding costly political tricks that we cannot afford,” said Freeland.

Trump also commented on the departure of the Canadian finance minister. “The great nation of Canada is stunned that the Minister of Finance has resigned or been fired from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Her behavior was completely toxic and did not at all lead to the conclusion of agreements that are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada. We won’t miss him!!”

Canada found itself in crisis. After nine years in power, Trudeau has squandered the trust of many citizens and also a large part of his parliamentary party, writes CNN. There is now speculation whether Trudeau will step down early next year so his party can choose a new leader and prime minister, or whether a confidence vote will topple his minority government and trigger a snap election.
