President-elect Donald Trump issued a Christmas message to the “wonderful soldiers of China” who are “illegally, operating the Panama Canal” and to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday.
“Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in ‘repair’ money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about ‘anything,'” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Trump continued, saying, “Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World. Likewise, to the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for National Security purposes and, who want the U.S. to be there, and we will.”
Trump previously threatened to retake the Panama Canal if Panama continues to “rip-off” the United States with “exorbitant” transit fees.
Trump has also previously trolled Trudeau and referred to him as “Governor Justin Trudeau” on several occasions.
