Sources told Planet Chronicle that President-elect Trump proposed to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week that if a tariff for not resolving trade and immigration problems harmed Canada's economy, it might be better for Canada to become the 51st state.

On Friday, Trudeau made an unannounced trip to Mar-a-Lago in response to Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Canadian goods due to their failure to control the influx of illegal immigrants and drugs into the US.

New details are emerging about the meeting between the two men, which Trump described as "productive."

The issues of tariffs, border security, and trade deficits were at the forefront before indulging in crab cocktail and oysters.

Two individuals at the table reported that Trump was direct in his demands to his North Korean counterpart, despite appearing cordial and welcoming during the discussion.

Trump accused Trudeau of failing to secure the U.S. border, allowing a significant influx of drugs, people, and illegal immigrants from more than 70 countries to enter Canada.

According to sources, Trump's tone became more intense when discussing the U.S. trade deficit with Canada, which he believed exceeded $100 billion.

If Canada fails to resolve the border problems and trade imbalance, the president-elect will impose a 25% tariff on all Canadian products on his first day in office.

Trump questioned whether Canada's economy would collapse if it did not impose a $100 billion tariff on the US.

Sources told Planet Chronicle that Trudeau and others laughed nervously when Trump proposed that Canada become the 51st state.

He continued, stating that prime minister is a more suitable title, although he could still serve as governor of the 51st state.

According to sources, someone at the table informed Trump that Canada is a very liberal state, which prompted more laughter. Trump proposed that Canada could potentially be divided into two states: a conservative and a liberal one.

Trudeau was told by him that if he couldn't manage his demands without harming U.S. trade, perhaps Canada should become a state or two and he could become a governor.

According to sources, the exchange was met with laughter, but Trump made it clear that he expected changes to occur by January 20.

The conversation about various topics lasted nearly three hours, and at the end, the Canadian guests described the dinner as "friendly" and "positive," without mentioning becoming the 51st state.

Both the Trump camp and Trudeau's team were contacted by Planet Chronicle Digital regarding the statements, but neither responded promptly.
