President-elect Donald Trump mocked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the "governor" of the "Great State of Canada" after recently joking about the country becoming the 51st state.
President-elect Donald Trump mocked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau overnight as the "governor" of the "Great State of Canada" after having recently warned of tariffs on the country.
"It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada," Trump wrote on his Truth Social account at just after midnight Tuesday. "I look forward to seeing the Governor again soon so that we may continue our in depth talks on Tariffs and Trade, the results of which will be truly spectacular for all!"
Reached for comment on the quip, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said only, "It's so good."
Trudeau’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump has recently joked that Canada should become the 51st state, even suggesting it directly to Trudeau during their dinner at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida home, Fox News reported, citing two people at the table who heard the discussion.
