“Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State,“ Trump posted on Truth Social.
is not the first time Trump has publicly mused at the idea, a joke that some have found in bad taste, particularly following the shock resignation of Canada's deputy prime minister on Monday.
When Trump made the same comment to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in late November, howls of laughter reportedly erupted.
His suggestion raised eyebrows in Ottawa with some commenting that it was “not funny,“ humiliating and a not-so-subtle threat on the part of the incoming US leader.
The jabs have become more worrying for Canadians since the surprise resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland plunged the nation into a political crisis earlier this week.
More than 75 percent of Canadian exports go to the United States and nearly two million Canadian jobs depend on trade.
