US President-elect Donald Trump has once again targeted Canada, as well as Greenland and the Panama Canal, in a Christmas message posted on his social media platform, Truth Social. In the post about Canada, Trump claimed that taxes in Canada are very high, but if Canada were to become the 51st US state, their taxes would be reduced by more than 60 percent.

He also mocked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, once again referring to him as the "governor of Canada." Trump added in another post that he had encouraged former Canadian hockey star Wayne Gretzky to run for the post of Prime Minister of Canada during a meeting, but Gretzky was not interested.

It is worth noting that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is currently leading a minority government, which could be toppled by a vote of confidence next year, following the sudden resignation of former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
