AI Summary:
Trump's comments are meant to undermine America's closest ally, Canada's finance minister says. "The joke is over," says Dominic LeBlanc, the country's point person for U.S-Canada relations. He keeps floating the idea that Canada should join the United States as the 51st state. Trump says he would not use military force to invade the country. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. States. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium. Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly says she never takes Trump's threats lightly. "This whole thing was like a South Park episode," Miller says. "We have to show we have a strong economy and we are strong," says "we are not going to be annexed"

Whaaat, Trump trying to undermine the country? I'm shocked. It's almost as if it's deliberate.
