Trump Told Trudeau if He Can’t Stop Ripping Off the US, Maybe Canada ‘Should Become the 51st State’

President-elect Donald Trump reportedly made a humorous comment to Canadian PM Justin Trudeau suggesting that if tariffs threaten to harm Canada’s economy, perhaps Canada should consider becoming the 51st state.

This information was shared by Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy, who conversed with two individuals present at the dinner table during Trudeau’s visit to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida for discussions.

Last week, Trump declared a 25 percent tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico, attributing it to concerns over illegal immigration and the crisis related to the influx of fentanyl into the US.

“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” he wrote on Truth Social.

“This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long-simmering problem.”

As our RedState colleague Becca Lower reported, Trudeau went straight to Trump to give him his thoughts on the proposed tariffs.

“Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” the Canadian PM said.

While Trudeau intended to give Trump a piece of his mind, the President-elect hit him with a doozy instead.

“Tonight we’re getting some new details about that Trump-Trudeau dinner from two people who were at the table,” Doocy told Fox anchor Bret Baier.

“We are told that when Trudeau told President-elect Trump that new tariffs would kill the Canadian economy,” Doocy continued, “Trump joked to him that, ‘If Canada can’t survive without ripping off the US to the tune of $100 billion a year, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state and Trudeau could become its governor.”

We are so back, baby. I mean, we are so back! What an absolute savage.

When Doocy pitched it back to Baier, the host could barely contain his laughter. And who could blame him? That is comedy gold right there.

This isn’t the first time Trump has used Trudeau as his own personal punching bag. The Canadian PM tried to upstage then-President Trump in 2018 during a signing ceremony for a trade pact with Mexico.

So Trump countered by signing the pact with a big ol’ pen to upstage the others.

The at the time reported that Trump used “his large sharpie pen, dwarfing the regular pen used by his North American counterparts” to sign his copy.

As a result, you could see Donald’s signature from about three miles away.

Earlier this year, Trump cited a conspiracy theory suggesting Trudeau is the son of former Cuban president Fidel Castro.

“They say he’s the son of Fidel Castro and could be. Anything’s possible in this world,” he said.

Anything is possible, indeed. Even Canada becoming the 51st state.
