Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday said U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's talk of possibly annexing Canada was a tactic designed to distract people from the impact of his proposed tariffs.

Elon Musk has told Justin Trudeau he “doesn’t matter” after the outgoing Canadian prime minister dismissed Donald Trump’s plan for the U.S. to take over its northern neighbor. The key adviser to the president-elect jabbed Trudeau on his X social media platform (formerly Twitter) after Canada’s premier announced Monday he is to resign.

The Canadian Prime Minister announced his resignation Monday, pending an internal party election to replace him

By suspending Parliament and promising to resign, the prime minister bought the Liberals time. But Canada will now face Donald J. Trump with a lame duck in charge.

Justin Trudeau had a special bond with Canadians, who had known him since he was born, on Christmas Day in 1971, as the son of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.That bond helped him get his Dad’s old job.

Donald Trump’s claim that the US doesn’t need anything from Canada is “simply false,” said Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s energy minister and a potential candidate in the contest to replace Justin Trudeau as prime minister.

The united front that Canada presented in President-elect Donald Trump’s first term is fractured and distracted after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation.

Canada’s leaders clap back at U.S. president-elect Donald Trump after he again said he’ll make Canada the 51st state of the United States.
