TORONTO: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has, for the first time, publicly rebuffed US President-elect Donald Trump's assertion that it should become America's 51st state.

In a post on X on Tuesday, Trudeau said, "There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States."

He added, "Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other's biggest trading and security partner."

That post came soon after Trump reiterated the idea that Canada should join America. Trump has frequently, since his election, referred to Trudeau as the Governor of the "great state of Canada."

On Tuesday, asked whether he proposed to use military power to annex Canada, Trump said, "No. Economic force."
