After winning the presidential election, Donald Trump has said many times that Canada becomes the 51st state of America. Canada has publicly objected to this matter, but inside it is scared of Trump’s statement. In a government source, it has been informed that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is also not taking Trump’s proposal lightly but is being considered as real. On Friday, Trudeau said in a meeting in a closed -room meeting that there is a truth in Trump’s proposal to make Canada an American state.
Trudeau made this comment in a meeting in a closed room with business and labor leaders. In this meeting, it was discussed how to reply to Trump’s threat to impose fees on goods purchased from Canada.
Trudeau’s comment in the closed room was first published by Canadian newspaper Toronto Star stating that he accidentally made this comment in loudspeakers.
What did Trudeau say?
The Canadian newspaper quoted Trudeau as saying, ‘He (America) is very familiar with our resources and the resources available to us. But it is in the mind of Trump that the easiest way to do this is to mix our country in itself and this is a truth.
A government source confirmed that what the Canadian newspaper wrote was the right thing.
While winning, Trump had said that he would impose 25% tariffs on Canadian goods coming in America as Canada has failed to smuggle drugs in the US and stop migrants from its border.
Talking to reporters a few days ago on Trump’s threat, Trudeau said that even if the Canada was successful in avoiding Trump’s tariff, he could face long -term political challenges with the US.
Here, Trump has given Canada a concession of some time with tariffs. On this Monday, he said that Canada has done the work of tightening the fantanel smuggling in America, in view of which there will be a delay of 30 days in putting tariffs.
Trudeau has said that Canada’s biggest challenge is to explain to America at the moment that Canada is making every effort to stop the supply of Phantanel. Statistics show that 0.2% of the total supply of this drugs seized in the US comes from the Canada limit.
‘If Trump put a tariff …’
At the beginning of the meeting, Trudeau told the business and labor leaders that if Trump puts tariffs, Canada will also answer in the same manner, but their goal will always be that the tariff should be removed as soon as possible.
He said, ‘We still have to think about how we move forward, progress, become strong and how to face the challenge in a long political situation with America.’
