India, Feb. 9 -- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that US President Donald Trump's intent to make Canada America's 51st state is a "real thing".
According to reports in Canadian media, while hosting the Canada-US Economic Summit in Toronto on Friday, Trudeau said, "I suggest that not only does the Trump Administration know how many critical minerals we have but that may even be why they keep talking about absorbing us and making us the 51st state. They're very aware of our resources, of what we have and they very much want to be able to benefit from those."
"But Mr Trump has it in mind that one of the easiest ways of doing that is absorbing our country. And it is a real thing," he added.
