US President-elect Donald Trump called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau governor in his Christmas greeting and said that if Canadian territories become the 51st US state, taxes for Canadians will be reduced by more than 60%.
“Merry Christmas to Canadian Governor Justin Trudeau. “Its citizens are overtaxed, but if Canada became the 51st state, their taxes would be cut by over 60%, their businesses would double in size, and they would be protected like no other country in the world,” he wrote on his Truth Social page.
In addition, the US President-elect wished a Merry Christmas to “the wonderful Chinese soldiers who lovingly but illegally run the Panama Canal.” Trump also wished a Merry Christmas to Greenland, which he said “the United States needs for national security and wants a US presence [on its soil].” “We will be there,” he added.
