Donald Trump, US President-elect has made a surprising proposal for Canada to merge with the United States, following Justin Trudeau’s resignation as Canadian Prime Minister.
President Donald Trump claims that a merger would eliminate tariffs, lower taxes, and boost economic and national security.
Trudeau’s resignation comes after nearly nine years in office, citing internal party pressures and declining popularity.
He will remain in office until the Liberal Party selects a new leader, with parliament suspended until March 24.
US President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal has sparked debate and discussion, with some criticizing his economic criticism of Canada.
He has been vocal about the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state, even mocking Trudeau as the “Governor of the Great State of Canada” during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago in November 2024.
The Canadian government has yet to respond formally to Trump’s remarks, but his statements have highlighted tensions in US-Canada relations.
Trump has also accused Trudeau’s administration of failing to curb illegal migration and illicit drug tr@fficking into the United States, threatening to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports if the issue persists.
Trudeau’s exit marks the end of a challenging tenure, with rising living costs, concerns over crime, and dissatisfaction with the quality of life eroding his popularity.
The Liberal Party is now scrambling for new leadership as Canada prepares for elections amid economic and political uncertainty.
