Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to Donald Trump's suggestion of merging the U.S. and Canada by jokingly proposing a trade of Canadian provinces for US states like Vermont or California. During an interview with MSNBC, Trudeau revealed that the conversation took place during his November visit to Mar-a-Lago. He stated that Trump's annexation wish 'will not ever happen'.

“If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them,” the president-elect wrote. “It actually sort of came up at one point,” Trudeau said. “And then we started musing back and forth about this and when I started to suggest ‘well, maybe there could be a trade for Vermont or California for certain parts,’ he immediately decided that it was not that funny anymore, and we moved on to another conversation.”
