In a White House press briefing on Wednesday, it was revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump was left unsatisfied after a call with “governor” Justin Trudeau earlier in the day. Trump took to social media to express his disappointment, specifically calling out Canada’s efforts to combat fentanyl smuggling across the U.S. border as inadequate.
During the briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized the fentanyl traffic as Trump’s reasoning behind imposing tariffs on Canada, despite data showing that only 1% of fentanyl seized at the U.S. border actually originated from Canada. Leavitt also confirmed Trump’s intention to annex Canada, stating that he believes it would be beneficial for the Canadian people to become the 51st state of the United States.
The announcement of Trump’s dissatisfaction and plans for Canada’s annexation have sparked concerns and criticism both domestically and internationally. The strained relationship between the U.S. and Canada continues to be a point of contention, with many questioning the validity of Trump’s claims and the implications of such drastic actions on the future of North American relations.
