WASHINGTON: Donald Trump without saying hinted that he will not be a peace-loving president like he was in his first term. US President-elect Trump had the other day come forward with a strong warning to India and Canada. Trump has finally demanded that Canada be made a state of the United States.
He said that Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States is a great idea. ‘The majority of Canadian citizens are of the opinion that Canada should be made a state of the United States. It is a great idea.
If they do that, they can reduce their costs tremendously in many ways,' Trump wrote on social media. This is not the first time that Trump has made such a demand publicly. However, in the context of giving a strong warning to Canada regarding border issues and drug trafficking, the present expression of opinion has taken on a new dimension.
Trump has repeatedly referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the Governor of Canada in his social media posts. After winning the election, Trudeau had visited Trump and had dinner together. After this, Trump posted on social media mocking Trudeau.
‘It was a pleasure to have dinner with the Governor of the Great State of Canada, Justin Trudeau, the other day. We had a great discussion on tariffs and trade. I look forward to seeing the Governor again to continue the discussion.
The results will be amazing for everyone,’ Trump wrote. Trump had warned that if Canada did not take action to stop illegal immigration and drug trafficking, he would impose a 25 percent tariff. When Trudeau said that Canada would collapse if such a decision was made, Trump had indicated that if so, he should make it a state of the United States.
After that, Trump began to repeat that Canada should be part of the United States. A recent public opinion poll found that 13 percent of Canadians who participated in it said that it would be good for the country to be part of the United States. This is also believed to have given Trump energy.
Elon Musk, a fierce critic of Trudeau, is close to Trump. Musk has recently made some remarks that the end of the Trudeau administration is near. However, Canada considers Trump's remarks as a great insult.
This is not a joke. It is an insult. Canadian officials say this is also a threat from the US president-elect.
However, foreign affairs experts say that it will not be easy to bring Canada closer to the US, including by force..
