Summary
Ontario Premier Doug Ford humorously countered Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. and Canada merge by proposing Canada purchase Alaska and Minnesota instead.
While Ford dismissed the idea of merging as unrealistic, he highlighted the strong economic ties between the two nations, including $1.3 trillion in trade and critical resources like oil and electricity.
Canadian leaders, including outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, rejected Trump’s rhetoric, with Trudeau asserting Canada would never become a U.S. state.
