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.

    Doesn’t he know Canada is basically a british colony? We have the King on all our coins/bills, if he wants to invade Canada, I think UK will say something about it. And if Canada separates, I’d rather join France than USA. Also we can burn the white house like in 1812.

      Canada isn’t a British colony anymore. Canada has its own king, who is also king of the UK, and also of Australia, and also of New Zealand.

      Officially removed the last strings of being a colony in 1982. the head of state with the monarchy was kept as a tradition for the oldies.

      Now more accurate to say Commonwealth member, Ally of many, and founding member of NATO.

      🤣 No. He just learned where Canada is and doesn’t like it being over America. “We should be in top”.

        Turnip will soon present a new map where the US is “on top”, and state that this is the new official map of the world.

        Something like this
