In recent discussions, President Trump indicated an interest in annexing Canada, utilizing "economic force" instead of military means. This was supported by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who suggested that Trump’s interest is motivated by Canada’s critical minerals. Trudeau further explained that Trump’s tariffs aim to destabilize the Canadian economy, making annexation easier. Conversations between the two leaders highlighted disputes over historical treaties that establish the border, with Trudeau firmly defending Canada’s sovereignty by referencing the Canadian Constitution as protecting the border's legitimacy.
"They're very aware of our resources, of what we have, and they very much want to be able to benefit from those... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy because that'll make it easier to annex us."
"Trump’s talk about annexing Canada and revising the border raises serious concerns about the relationship between our two countries... the treaty was replaced by the Canadian Constitution."
