Canadian PM Justin Trudeau revealed a humorous exchange with President-elect Donald Trump, suggesting Canada could trade Vermont or California if tariffs were imposed. Trump had reportedly proposed absorbing Canada as the 51st US state to address trade issues. Trudeau dismissed the idea, emphasizing that tariffs would harm both nations' economies. Speaking to business leaders, he highlighted the importance of free trade and warned against policies that inflate prices and discourage growth. Trudeau’s office reiterated his stance on maintaining stable trade relations. On Twitter, Trudeau firmly stated there’s “no chance” Canada would join the US, stressing Canadian independence.
