US President-elect Donald Trump mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, referring to him as "Governor of Canada" after threatening 25% tariffs on Canadian imports. Trump, during a dinner meeting at Mar-a-Lago, suggested Canada could avoid tariffs by becoming the "51st state" of the US. Trudeau, who flew from Ottawa for the November 30 meeting, warned such tariffs would devastate Canada's economy. Trump joked Canada could become two states, with Trudeau as a Governor. Talks covered immigration, trade, and fentanyl issues. Both leaders called the meeting "productive," though Trudeau avoided addressing Trump's remarks publicly.
