In the wake of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested the idea of merging Canada with the United States.
Trudeau, who had served nearly nine years in office, announced his departure due to internal party pressures and a decline in his popularity. During a press conference, he stated that he would remain in office until the Liberal Party elects a new leader, and confirmed that Parliament would be suspended until March 24.
In light of the resignation, Trump took to social media to share his thoughts, proposing that if Canada merged with the U.S., it would eliminate tariffs and significantly reduce taxes. He also highlighted that such a merger would bolster security, especially with the ongoing presence of Russian and Chinese vessels near Canadian waters. “Together, what a great nation it would be,” Trump concluded in his post.
Trudeau’s resignation marks a pivotal moment in Canadian politics, as the country now faces leadership changes and a potential shift in political dynamics.
