Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday said the US president, who has often spoken of making his country the 51st American state, “wants to see a collapse of the Canadian economy, because that would make it easier to annex us”. Trudeau added that President Trump’s vow to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods was a “very dumb thing to do”.
