Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finds himself needing to clarify statements after a surprising revelation.

In a candid moment caught on a hot mic, Trudeau spoke of President Trump’s alleged ideas about making Canada the 51st state of the United States, noting that this notion is becoming more of a reality.

This conversation occurred following a private meeting with labor and business leaders in Canada, discussing the tariffs recently imposed by Trump.

Unexpectedly, Trudeau’s remarks were broadcast through a loudspeaker, and CBS News recently shared the incident.

Trudeau further commented that the Trump administration is aware of the valuable minerals Canada possesses, which might be fueling discussions about annexation.

Trudeau was heard saying, “They are very familiar with our resources and their potential benefits. Trump’s mind is always preoccupied with taking over our country.”

This incident is certainly embarrassing for Prime Minister Trudeau, and the Trump administration has not yet responded to these comments.
