Donald Trump Trolls Trudeau: America’s newly elected President Donald Trump again made fun of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday (December 10, 2024). Trump called the Canadian Prime Minister the Governor of the Great State Canada. Earlier, Trump had suggested to Trudeau that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States if Trump’s proposed 25 percent tariffs destroyed the Canadian economy.
In fact, Trump said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, “It was a great pleasure to have dinner the other night with Justin Trudeau, the Governor of the great state of Canada. I look forward to meeting the Governor again soon so that we can “We can continue our deep negotiations on tariffs and trade, which will have really great results for everyone.”
Trump gave suggestion to Canada
On Sunday, Trump suggested that if America is giving subsidies of $ 100 billion and $ 300 billion to its two neighboring countries, Canada and Mexico, then these countries should consider becoming a part of America.
Trump said in a talk show on Sunday for the first time after winning the presidential election on November 5, “We are giving subsidies of more than 100 billion dollars annually to Canada. We are giving subsidies of about 300 billion dollars to Mexico. “Why are we subsidizing these countries? If we are going to subsidize them, let them (America) become a state.”
What did Trudeau say on tariffs?
Meanwhile, the Canadian PM on Monday gave a strong reaction to Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on Canada. Trudeau said the tariff policy would not only harm the Canadian economy but also make life more expensive and difficult for American citizens. Trudeau said the U.S. move to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian products would be “devastating for the Canadian economy.” This will impact many important industries, including energy, steel, aluminum and agriculture. Trudeau stressed that these tariff policies will ultimately bring hardship to American citizens.

Although Trudeau did not respond publicly to the statement, officials close to him said Trump’s comments were “not taken seriously.”
