President-elect Donald Trump reportedly suggested to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week that if his country can’t handle Trump’s tariff plan they should become the 51st state.
The 78-year-old Trump made the remark during a three-hour dinner with Trudeau at his Mar-a-Lao estate on Friday, a meeting caused by the president-elect’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports.
According to Fox News, Trudeau pleaded with Trump not to implement the tariff plan because it would “kill” Canada’s economy.
However, Trump did admit that “prime minister” was a better title for Trudeau than “governor”
Lol, I love it!

According to Fox News, Trudeau pleaded with Trump not to implement the tariff plan because it would “kill” Canada’s economy.
Trump then joked that Canada could become the 51st state, with Trudeau serving as its governor.“So your country can’t survive unless it’s ripping off the US to the tune of $100 billion?” Trump reportedly replied, citing the U.S. trade deficit with Canada.
