Trudeau: US State Suggestion a Distraction, Not a Threat
Canada's outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dismissed US President-elect Donald Trump's proposal for Canada to become the 51st state, calling it a "distraction" from the looming threat of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Trudeau acknowledged that he is likely to be seen as a "successful negotiator" due to his efforts to negotiate trade deals with other countries.
In a recent statement, Canada's outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed skepticism about President-elect Donald Trump's suggestion that Canada become the 51st state of the United States. Trudeau views this proposal as a diversionary tactic, aimed at drawing attention away from the impending tariffs on Canadian goods imposed by the US. The Canadian leader acknowledged his country's ability to negotiate effectively with the US, stating he is a "successful negotiator". This comment comes ahead of the scheduled meeting between Trudeau and Trump to discuss the trade dispute.
