U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the Trump administration will take no action to annex Canada. He described Trump’s views as unimportant bluster.
Rubio claimed that former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Trump that Canada relies on unfair trade to survive, leading to Trump’s remarks on annexation.
Canada’s new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, firmly rejected the suggestion of annexation. He asserted, “Canada will never become a U.S. state.”
U.S.-Canada relations have become strained, with Rubio’s comments generating significant media attention and concerns about future diplomatic interactions.
Editor’s note: In a previous version of this story, it was incorrectly reported that the Biden administration would take no action to annex Canada. It has since been corrected to reflect that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke for the Trump administration.
