NEW YORK:
"It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada," posted Trump on his Truth Social platform shortly after midnight.
"I look forward to seeing the Governor again soon so that we may continue our in-depth talks on Tariffs and Trade, the results of which will be truly spectacular for all!"
Trump's jibe follows reports that he suggested making Canada the 51st US state during discussions with Trudeau in Florida, which followed threats to impose huge trade tariffs when he takes office in January.
The report from Fox News said Trump told Trudeau that if Canada could not withstand his threatened 25% tariff on all Canadian imports, then it should be absorbed into the United States.
Asked about Trump's post, Canada's Immigration Minister Marc Miller said: "It sounds like we're living in an episode of South Park."
