Canadian Ambassador to US on annex Canada: joking or serious? Joy Reid melting down on annex Canada

ABC News asked the Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. if Trump was really joking, or if he was serious when he said he would annex Canada if they failed to meet his conditions.

HAHAHAHA Joy Reid is melting down over Trump joking about annexing Canada and threatening Hamas

On Tuesday afternoon, Trump posted an A.I.-generated image to social media that depicted him standing next to a Canadian flag overlooking a mountain range. The post on Instagram and Truth Social was captioned “Oh Canada!” The mountain in the image appeared to be the Matterhorn, which is on the border between Switzerland and Italy. While talk of a U.S. takeover apparently was a joke, there’s no doubt Canada has some of the natural resources the U.S. needs. Beyond supplying the Americans with some 4 million barrels of oil a day — a figure that has surged in recent years — Canada is also a key supplier of critical minerals that are used in everything from clean energy and smartphones to military defense systems, fertilizers and medical equipment. Canada is a leading mining nation and sits on top of some of the world’s largest deposits of these minerals.

• There were some participants in the meeting said Trump was clearly joking
• Was that your understanding of that comment
• Yeah, yeah, I do think it’s important to emphasize that this was a really social dinner
• I mean, there was a lot of joking, storytelling
• There was a lot of discussion around, you know, the Prime Minister was asking the president about the campaign and the election, asking him about Mar-a-Lago, people were teasing each other
• They talked business, we talked serious matters, obviously as well, but it was a three hour dinner
• The Prime Minister and the President, I’ll be honest, they know each other well and they enjoy each other’s company
• And I have to tell you, I see it as a good thing
• I see it as a good thing that there’s sort of this more teasing relationship, let’s just say, than something more serious
