**Canadian Prime Minister warns against U.S. intentions toward Canada following Trump's comments**
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada addressed business leaders in Toronto, voicing strong concern over President Trump's recent remarks suggesting a desire to annex Canada and incorporate it as the 51st state. Contrary to viewing Trump's comments as mere jest, Trudeau emphasized the importance of taking these claims seriously.
During the private gathering, which was closed to the media, Trudeau pointedly remarked that the wealth of critical minerals in Canada has caught Trump's attention. "I believe they [the Trump administration] are acutely aware of our mineral resources, and perhaps this is why they persist in discussing the idea of annexation," he stated, as reported by attendees who were present.
Trudeau elaborated on the matter, indicating that Trump's potential ambition to take over Canada is not idle chatter but a strategic consideration aimed at reaping the benefits of Canada's natural assets. "It is essential for us to recognize that this is not an abstract notion but has serious implications for our sovereignty," he concluded, underscoring the need for Canada to remain vigilant in the face of such assertions.
