TORONTO (AP) — U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s comments that Canada should become the 51st state are no longer a joke and are meant to undermine America’s closest ally, Canada’s finance minister said Wednesday.

Dominic LeBlanc, the country’s point person for U.S-Canada relations, said Trump was smiling when he first made the comment during a dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in late November.

“The joke is over,” said LeBlanc. “It’s a way for him, I think, to sow confusion, to agitate people, to create chaos knowing this will never happen.”

      Sailor Charged in 2023 Drug Overdose Death of USS Abraham Lincoln Sailor

      A sailor assigned to carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) was charged on Tuesday with selling fentanyl in the 2023 death of another Lincoln sailor, according to a charging document filed in the Southern District Court of California. Bailey Szramowsk, whose rank and service status was unavailable as of this posting, was charged with knowingly and intentionally distributing fentanyl, which led to the death of another person, according to the charging documents. It is unclear if Szramowski has been arrested. PACER, the online database for federal cases, does not list a hearing or an appearance in court.
