Summary

Donald Trump suggested using “economic force” to acquire Canada, citing trade deficits and national security benefits.

He also claimed the U.S. “subsidizes” Canada by up to $200 billion annually.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed the idea, saying, “there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell” Canada would join the U.S.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden praised Trudeau’s leadership as he prepares to leave office amidst rising U.S.-Canada trade tensions and tariff threats under Trump.
