Alert đ¨ đ¨ Trump's Controversial Call for a US-Canada "Merger" After Trudeauâs Departure đŤ đŤ #BTCâď¸
#BTC100KTrumpEffect In the wake of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has once again revived his long-standing proposal to make Canada the 51st state of the United States. The 53-year-old Trudeau announced his resignation on Monday following mounting pressure from his Liberal Party amid growing unpopularity. While a new leader will be chosen in the upcoming general elections, Trudeau has pledged to remain in office until a successor is elected.
Trump, who has often criticized Trudeau and their strained relationship during his first term (2017-2021), took to social media shortly after the resignation to pitch his vision of a US-Canada merger. Trump suggested that many Canadians would welcome the idea, arguing that it would resolve trade deficits, eliminate tariffs, and ensure greater security from international threats, particularly from Russia and China. He also highlighted the potential economic benefits, including lower taxes and reduced subsidies for Canada.
The response from Canadian officials has been largely muted, though Trump has previously threatened tariffs on Canadian imports in response to issues such as illegal migration and drug trafficking. This proposal marks another controversial moment in Trumpâs history of bold and often divisive political rhetoric. While Trumpâs idea of a âGreat Nationâ is unlikely to gain traction, his remarks reflect a broader tension in U.S.-Canada relations, particularly in the realm of trade and security.
