Outgoing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made clear on Tuesday that Canada would not be becoming part of the United States – as President-elect Donald Trump has been suggesting in recent weeks.

“There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States. Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other’s biggest trading and security partner,” Trudeau wrote on X.

Trump has made multiple claims in recent weeks that Canada should become the 51st state and has even gone so far as to refer to the Canadian prime minister as a governor.

“Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State. The United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding:

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. Together, what a great Nation it would be!!!

Trump has also suggested that the U.S. should claim sovereignty over Greenland, which is a territory of Denmark, and the Panama Canal —  a part of Panama. Many observers and pundits have argued that Trump is just trolling or he is pushing U.S. expansion as some kind of distraction from other issues.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D) also got in on the troll and wrote, “If it’s the choice of the people of Greenland to join the greatest country on earth, I would welcome them as our 53rd state, right after we admit Puerto Rico and Washington DC as states.” CNN’s Van Jones quipped he’s on board with Canada joining the union as it would “be a huge blue state.”
