Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said 'there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States,' on the same day U.S. president-elect Donald Trump declared that he's open to using 'economic force' to acquire Canada.

Summary

Donald Trump suggested using “economic force” to acquire Canada, citing trade deficits and national security benefits.

He also claimed the U.S. “subsidizes” Canada by up to $200 billion annually.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed the idea, saying, “there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell” Canada would join the U.S.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden praised Trudeau’s leadership as he prepares to leave office amidst rising U.S.-Canada trade tensions and tariff threats under Trump.
