51st state: Canada votes as Trump renews US takeover push

Toronto: As voting began for Canada’s election on Monday, US President Donald Trump inserted himself into the conversation, repeating his threat of annexing the country as America’s 51st state.

Prime Minister Mark Carney, the Liberal Party leader, riffed on standing up to Trump in a video posted on social media, as the 60-year-old leader said, “This is Canada - we decide what Случва се тук.

Кампанията му набра скорост за отстояване на заканите от цените и анексията на Тръмп.

В обява за обществената истината Тръмп сподели, че Канада може да стане „ заветната 51 -ва страна на Съединени американски щати “, добавяйки: „ Това трябваше да бъде! “

Този пост извади регенерация от съперницата на Карни, консервативната партийна партия Пиер Поилиевр. In a post on X, he said, “President Trump, stay out of our election. The only people who will decide the future of Canada are Canadians at the ballot box. Canada will always be proud, sovereign and independent and we will NEVER be the 51st state. ”

Trump’s threats have buoyed Carney’s campaign, after the Liberals under his predecessor Justin Trudeau were tottering towards defeat at the end of 2024 година
