Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned at an economic summit that President Donald Trump is seriously considering annexing Canada to capitalize on its natural resources. Trudeau made these remarks while addressing a summit of business and labor leaders to coordinate a response to Trump's threat of a 25 percent tariff on all Canadian imports. The Canadian government has assured its citizens that the country's sovereignty is non-negotiable and vowed to resist any US expansionism.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told an economic summit Friday that President Donald Trump is serious about annexing Canada to access its natural resources, as his government vowed the country's sovereignty was non-negotiable.
"I suggest that not only does the Trump administration know how many critical minerals we have but that may be even why they keep talking about absorbing us and making us the 51st state," he said. "But Mr Trump has it in mind that one of the easiest ways of doing that is absorbing our country. And it is a real thing."
Responding to reporters' questions about Trudeau's comments, Trade Minister Anita Anand said Canada was resolved to resist any US expansionism. His tariffs were set to come into force on Tuesday, but Trump granted Canada a 30 day reprieve for further negotiations.
