annex

President Donald Trump is planning to further escalate his economic war on Canada as part of a push to annex his country's northern neighbor, he announced Tuesday.

Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and currently holds around a fifth of Ukraine's territory, including Crimea which it annexed in 2014.

But never did anyone imagine that he would launch a full scale rhetorical assault on Canada itself, insult its people and proclaim that he wants to annex the country and make it America's 51st state.

Most poignantly were threats to take back the Panama Canal and annex Greenland.

"What he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us," the prime minister warned.
