The United States President-elect Donald Trump has presented a merged map of the United States with Canada. The map was released on his Truth Social social network announced.
The image shows the territories of the United States and Canada painted in the colors of the American flag. In the post's caption, Trump commented, "Oh, Canada".
Subsequently, he also posted another picture on his profile, showing the United States with Canada added, but this time the words "United States of America" are placed across the entire merged territory.
At the end of last November, Trump announced the imposition of 25 percent tariffs on imported goods from Canada. He said he would sign such an order on his very first day as a state leader. His inauguration is scheduled for January 20. Previously, “Fox News” reported that Trump had told Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that his country should become the 51st state of the US if it can't withstand high tariffs.
A few days ago, 53-year-old Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as the Prime Minister of Canada and leader of the ruling Liberal Party. The politician addressed the issue on January 6 at the Rideau Cottage. The head of the Cabinet additionally mentioned that the work of the parliament would be suspended until March 24. Trudeau took office as Prime Minister in November 2015 and was re-elected twice. Two years ago, he faced the public's anger due to high prices and a housing shortage, but the situation gradually eased.
During his first presidential term, Trump had proposed to Denmark to buy Greenland. However, Copenhagen sharply rejected his offer later, and the country's Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen, called it "absurd," leading the then future President of the White House to even cancel his trip to Denmark. On December 22, 2024, Trump decided to revisit this topic. According to him, from a national security and freedom perspective worldwide, it is absolutely necessary for the United States to own and control Greenland.
