Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to President Trump's repeated remarks about annexing Canada, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. Trudeau suggested that Trump's interest in Canada is fueled by the country's abundance of critical minerals, hinting that the U.S. might desire these resources. He expressed concern over Trump's intentions, arguing that the administration is aware of Canada's valuable resources, which could explain the notion of Canada becoming the 51st state. Trudeau's comments were made during a private meeting with business leaders and reflect a defensive stance regarding Canada's sovereignty.
Mr. Trudeau made clear that he did not regard Mr. Trump's statements as having been made in jest and believes annexation is something Canada needs to treat as a serious threat.
...Mr. Trudeau told a gathering of company executives... that may be even why they keep talking about absorbing us and making us the 51st state.
