Latest Social Media Jab: Trump Refers to Trudeau as ‘Governor’ of the ‘Great State of Canada’
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has once again addressed Canada’s sovereignty, expressing his desire for another meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom he mistakenly referred to as a state “governor.”
This comment seems to be linked to Trump’s recent statement suggesting that Canada could potentially become the 51st state of the U.S., with Trudeau serving as the governor.
Trump also expressed his anticipation for another meeting with the “Governor” to continue their detailed discussions on tariffs and trade, believing that the outcomes will be truly remarkable for everyone involved.
Trump had previously announced his plans to impose these tariffs on Canada and Mexico if they don’t enhance their border security.
