Washington: Just hours after the resignation of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, America's newly elected President Donald Trump made a statement that stirred up the whole world. Trump on Monday reiterated his offer to make Canada the 51st state of America after Trudeau's resignation. 53-year-old Trudeau announced his resignation from his post on Monday. He had to take this step because his ruling Liberal Party had started putting pressure on him amid his growing unpopularity.

This was said after meeting Trudeau

Let us tell you that general elections are to be held in Canada this year. Trudeau said that he will remain the Prime Minister until the party elects a new leader. Earlier, while being the President of America from 2017 to 2021, the relationship between 78-year-old Trump and Trudeau was never normal. After getting the election victory on November 5 last year, Trump has been talking about making Canada the 51st state of America since meeting Trudeau at his residence Mar-a-Lago. Since then, he has mentioned it several times on his social media posts, which shows that he wants to do this as soon as possible.

'Trudeau knew it, so he resigned'

On Truth social, Trump said, 'Many people in Canada would love to become the 51st state. The US can no longer afford massive trade deficits and subsidies while Canada desperately needs them. Justin Trudeau knew this, so he resigned. If Canada joins the US, there will be no tariffs, taxes will be much lower, and they will be completely safe from the threat of Russian and Chinese ships that constantly surround them. What a great country this will be if we join together!!!'

Trump has threatened Canada

Talking about Canada, there has been no significant response from its side to Trump 's offer. Trump has threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on imports from Canada if Canada fails to stop the flow of illegal drugs and illegal immigrants from its southern border with the US. In some posts, Trump also mocked Trudeau and called him the 'Governor of the Great State of Canada'.
