Donald Trump belittled the leaders of the United States’ closest neighbours, Canada and Mexico, at a Fox awards ceremony intended to celebrate his role as America’s greatest “patriot”.
Two weeks after threatening the two countries with 25% tariffs on their imports for supposedly failing to prevent drugs and migrants from crossing the border, the president-elect took evident pleasure in an audience chant that taunted Canada as the 51st US state.
The chant of “51” came at Thursday night’s Fox Nation’s Patriot of the Year ceremony, held in New York. Trump was given the top award by Sean Hannity, one of the network’s star hosts.
It alluded to the visit by Justin Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last week, where Trudeau reportedly told the president-elect that carrying out the tariff threat would devastate the country’s economy. In response, Trump reportedly replied that “maybe Canada should become the 51st state”.
