Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claims U.S. President Donald Trump sincerely wants to annex Canada due to its valuable critical minerals. Trudeau made this statement during a private meeting with business and labor leaders in Toronto.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has alleged that U.S. President Donald Trump is genuinely interested in annexing Canada , driven by a desire to gain access to its abundant critical minerals. Trudeau made this startling claim during a private meeting with over 150 business leaders, trade experts, and union executives gathered in Toronto.
The focus of the meeting was to brainstorm strategies for bolstering economic growth and attracting new capital investment in Canada despite the looming threat of U.S. protectionism. \The Prime Minister's remarks, delivered behind closed doors after media members were asked to exit, were initially reported by the Toronto Star. A senior government source confirmed the veracity of Trudeau's statement to The Globe and Mail, although The Globe is withholding the source's identity as they were not authorized to speak publicly. This revelation comes amidst growing concerns regarding the escalating trade tensions between Canada and the United States under the Trump administration. Canadians appear increasingly wary of the economic implications of these tensions, with a recent poll indicating their preference for former central banker Mark Carney to handle trade and tariff negotiations with the U.S. compared to Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre. \Trudeau's remarks highlight the increasingly strained relationship between the two North American neighbors. While both countries share a long history of cooperation, recent trade disputes and protectionist policies have cast a shadow over this partnership. The potential for further escalation, including tit-for-tat tariffs, poses a significant risk to the Canadian economy. This situation underscores the need for Canada to diversify its economic relationships and explore new markets to mitigate the impact of any future trade disruptions
