The president-elect recently quipped that Canada should become the 51st state and has proposed imposing tariffs on the country.

Summary

Trump mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of the “Great State of Canada” on Truth Social, following recent discussions about tariffs on Canada.

Trump has joked about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, linking the idea to U.S. trade deficits with Canada and Mexico.

Trudeau, responding to tariff threats, pledged to counter any unfair trade measures.

The remarks have sparked lighthearted responses, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford joking about the War of 1812 and Sen. Bernie Sanders referencing Canada’s healthcare system.

    It may be too subtle for them. It may be too subtle for us here.

      … Can you explain for my friend? I’d explain it to them myself, but I don’t want to make them feel bad for not knowing.
