As state-level Republicans in Alaska work to affirm their close relationship with Canada amid U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war and threats of annexation, an Alaskan senator has warned British Columbia's premier that "you don't want to mess with Alaska."

Dan Sullivan of the Republican Party, who represents Alaska in the U.S. Senate, made the remarks in an interview with an Anchorage radio station posted to his Facebook page.

During the conversation, which touched on topics ranging from energy development to Ukraine, Sullivan, one of two senators who represent the state in Washington, was asked about B.C. introducing legislation that grants the province the ability to levy new fees on U.S. commercial trucks heading to Alaska.

I'm sure I remember hearing the US president say that the border between Canada and America was just an imaginary line. If that's true then Canada should just take over Alaska. I means we have more in common with each other than Alaska has with the continental US.

Just give me a heads up a few days before so I can get to Alaska.

As mentioned before, we usually don't announce when we're going to invade America. It's maybe because we're historically really drunk the entire time.

It'll be all "North! To Alaska! We're headin' north, the rush is on!"

That line isn't imaginary; you can see it in aerial photos.
