Trump Threatens Canada with Economic Warfare: Annexation Attempt Sparks Outrage
President-elect Trump reiterated his desire for a U.S.-Canada merger, threatening economic coercion if necessary, citing alleged substantial U.S. subsidies to Canada and significant trade deficits. Prime Minister Trudeau firmly rejected this notion, stating that such a merger is impossible. This stark contrast highlights escalating tensions between the two nations, particularly concerning trade and the potential imposition of U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods. President Biden, in contrast, praised Trudeau’s leadership and the strength of the U.S.-Canada alliance.
