Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a private meeting inadvertently broadcast via a hot mic, warned that Donald Trump is seriously considering annexing Canada to secure its critical mineral resources.

Speaking to business and labor leaders, Trudeau claimed Trump’s administration is keenly aware of Canada’s resource wealth and sees annexation as a means to control it.

The comments, cut off after staff realized they were audible, underscore growing economic and political tensions.

He also stressed the need to diversify trade, noting, “Geography means we’re always going to both benefit and be challenged by trade with the United States.”

      this comment comes up all the time, and its for the most part, not acknowleding reality.

      nuclear armed countries do not let other countries gain nuclear weapons, they see it as a hostile act.

      why do you think Trump has been so foaming at the mouth aggressive at Iran.
