During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, President-elect Donald Trump suggested using economic force, including significant tariffs, to urge Canada to become the 51st state. He emphasized that the U.S. subsidizes Canada with $200 billion annually and criticized reliance on Canadian goods while claiming it would enhance national security. Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau firmly rejected the idea, stating there's no chance of Canada becoming part of the U.S., with most Canadians opposing such a notion. In response to Trump's threats, Canadian officials are considering export taxes if trade tensions escalate.
