Polling has started in Canada following Justin Trudeau’s decision to step down as prime minister. Donald Trump suggested that Canadians should support becoming the 51st state of the U.S. during their election.
Trump argued this would eliminate tariffs and taxes while boosting Canadian industry. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that the U.S. administration aims to collaborate with Canada’s new leadership after the election. Canadian media has focused heavily on the worsening state of U.S.-Canada relations after the election of Donald Trump to a second term.
