Toronto | Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told executives gathered at an economic summit on Friday (Saturday AEDT) that he believes US President Donald Trump genuinely wants to annex the northern nation due to its abundance of critical minerals, a senior government official said.
Mr Trudeau made the remarks to dozens of business leaders and policymakers at a closed-door meeting in Toronto to discuss how Canada can diversify trade away from the US, given Mr Trump’s tariff threats. The comments were confirmed by an official who asked not to be identified.
