Trump Proposes U.S.-Canada Merger, Threatens 'Economic Force' Post-Trudeau Resignation
Jan 7, 2025, 05:31 PM
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his proposal for Canada to merge with the United States, suggesting the use of 'economic force' rather than military force to achieve this goal. This statement comes in the wake of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation announcement. Trump has suggested that such a merger would eliminate tariffs, including the proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, significantly reduce taxes, and provide total security from Russian and Chinese threats. He has also shared maps on social media depicting Canada as part of the United States, further emphasizing his stance. Trudeau has firmly rejected the idea of Canada becoming part of the U.S., stating there is no chance of such a merger. Ontario Premier Doug Ford responded to Trump's comments by humorously suggesting that Canada could buy Alaska from the U.S.
