Mr. Trump continues to shock when posting a map of Canada as US territory.

US President-elect Donald Trump has shared two maps on social media showing Canada as part of the US, according to RT. Trump posted the images just hours after officials in Ottawa dismissed his repeated claims that Canadians would be happier under US rule.

On January 7, Mr. Trump used his social media platform Truth Social to share a map showing the United States and Canada as a single country, with the border between the two countries erased and the words “United States” placed on this new entity.

He then posted an image of both countries' territories colored in the colors of the American flag, accompanied by the caption “Oh Canada.”

Speaking to reporters on January 7, President-elect Trump suggested that the United States could use its “economic might” to annex its northern neighbor. Previously, Trump had threatened to impose heavy tariffs on Canadian goods.

“You take away that artificial line and see, it would be better for national security,” Mr. Trump argued.

Meanwhile, Canada's outgoing Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, wrote on social network X that "there is no possibility of Canada becoming part of the United States".

Pierre Poilievre, leader of the opposition Conservative Party, similarly warned that “Canada will never become the 51st state of the United States.”

Despite strongly rejecting Mr. Trump’s proposal to annex its northern neighbor, politicians in Ottawa have emphasized the importance of maintaining good bilateral relations as Canada heads into election season. Mr. Trudeau announced earlier this week that he would resign as prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party after his popularity fell.
