Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says talk of Canada becoming the 51st state is a distraction from more pressing threats of U.S. tariffs.

Trudeau says Canada is ready to respond with retaliatory tariffs if president-elect Donald Trump follows through with a threat to impose 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico .

Trump has also referred to Canada as the “ 51st state,” a notion federal cabinet ministers initially played off as a joke but now appear to be taking more seriously.
