US-Canada Dispute / Trump showed Canada as an American state, wrote- 'Oh Canada'... Trudeau gave this reaction

US-Canada Dispute: America's newly elected President Donald Trump has once again made headlines. He has shared a new map on his social media platform "Truth Social", which shows Canada as the 51st state of America. With this map, Trump captioned "Oh Canada", which further heated up the controversy. After this post of Trump, there was a stir in Canada and the country's former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reacted strongly to it.

Old dispute between Trump and Trudeau

This is not the first time that Donald Trump has made a controversial statement about Canada. Earlier, Trump had suggested to Justin Trudeau that Canada should be included in the US. He claimed that by doing so, Canada's economy would grow at a fast pace. Trump even offered Trudeau to become a potential "Governor of the State of Canada". However, Trudeau refused to agree to this.

This move of Trump has further increased the already existing tension between the US and Canada. Trump had threatened to impose heavy tariffs on Canada in response. Now, with a map showing Canada as a US state, Trump has further inflamed the dispute.

Strategy of economic pressure on Canada

Donald Trump said in a statement on Tuesday that he would not hesitate to put "economic pressure" on Canada to become part of the US. However, he ruled out the use of military force. Trump says that including Canada in the US would be beneficial to national security and eliminate the "artificial line" between the two countries.

He said, "We protect Canada. Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent every year to care for and support Canada. We do not benefit from it." Trump claimed that the products sent by Canada to the US—such as cars, dairy products, and other items—are not needed by the US.

Justin Trudeau's sharp response

Reacting to Trump's remarks and the map, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, "There is no possibility of Canada becoming part of the US." Emphasizing the importance of trade and security partnership between the two countries, he said that it is beneficial for the citizens of both countries.

Trudeau clarified that Canada will never compromise on its independence and sovereignty. He also rejected Trump's threats of using economic force.

New challenge in Canada-US relations

Donald Trump's recent remarks and the controversial map have worsened the already tense relations between the US and Canada. While Trump described making Canada a part of the US economically as beneficial from the "profit" point of view, Canada is considering it an attack on its sovereignty.

It is clear that this step of Trump will only serve to increase the dispute and it can have far-reaching political and diplomatic implications. It remains to be seen how the leaders of both countries react to this issue and whether this matter will also escalate on the international platform.
