Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a business gathering on Friday that US President Donald Trump’s threat to annex Canada “is a real thing.”
CNN reports that Trudeau’s comments were picked up on an open microphone when Trudeau believed the media had been escorted out.
“Mr trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing. In my conversation with him on…,” Trudeau said, according to audio from the Canada-US Economic Summit in Toronto shared by CBC News, before the microphone was cut out.
News.com.au also reports that at an economic summit in Toronto, Mr Trudeau said, “I suggest that not only does the Trump administration know how many critical minerals we have, but that may be even why they keep talking about absorbing us and making us the 51st state.
