“Oh Canada!” he wrote in a message.
The new president has recently been pushing for Canada to join the US, even as recently as Tuesday.

“Canada and the United States. That would be something,” Trump said at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. “They should be a state.”
On Monday, the president-elect argued in a social media post that “a lot of people in Canada LOVE being the 51st state.”
WHAT TRUMP SAYS ABOUT CANADA BECOMING THE 51ST STATE
“The United States can no longer suffer the trade deficits and massive subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat,” he wrote on Truth Social.
“Justin Trudeau knew this and resigned. If Canada merged with the US, there would be no tariffs, taxes would drop a lot, and they would be TOTALLY insured from the threat of Russian and Chinese ships constantly surrounding them.” he added. “Together, what a great nation we would be!!!”

Trudeau, who announced on Monday that he will resign as Canadian Prime Minister Once a replacement is chosen, he said on Tuesday there is no way Canada will join the US
“There is not a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada will become part of the United States,” Trudeau wrote on social media platform X. “Workers and communities in our countries benefit from being the largest trade and security partner of others.”
Trump has been trolling Canada in recent weeks, floating the idea of it becoming the 51st state and posting a doctored photo of himself next to a Canadian flag on top of a mountain.
