Donald Trump’s desire to annex Canada and make it the 51st US state is a “real thing” due to the country’s abundant natural resources, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau reportedly said at an economic summit.
The outgoing prime minister addressed dozens of business leaders and policymakers at a summit in Toronto, where they discussed Mr Trump’s looming threat of a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian imports. The comments were made during a closed-door meeting after the media had been asked to leave and were mistakenly picked up by a microphone, Canada’s public broadcaster CBC reported.
