Donald Trump refloat idea of US-Canada 'Merger' hours after Justin Trudeau's resignation
PTC News Desk: Hours after Justin Trudeau's resignation, Donald Trump has once again refloated the idea of US-Canada 'Merger' as US President elect has reiterated its offer of making Canada 51st state of the United States.
Justin Trudeau, 53 announced his resignation as leader of Liberal Party and his intent to step down as Prime Minister as soon as a new leader will be elected by the party. The decision follows long standing rift amongst the party and constant calls for his resignation. General elections are scheduled this year. The Canadian prime minister said that he would stay on as prime minister till the party elected a new leader.
Trump did not have very friendly relations with Trudeau even during his first tenure during 2017-2020. He has been reiterating his stance over US-Canada merger ever since his first meeting with Trudeau after electoral victory.
“If Canada merged with the US, there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great Nation it would be!!!” said the president-elect after the resignation of Trudeau on Monday.
"Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State. The United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned,” Trump said on Truth Social.
In some of the posts, Trump even mocked Trudeau as “Governor of the Great State of Canada”.
