Trump was teasing us, joking: LeBlanc on Canada 51st state remark

Talking about US President-elect Donald Trump jokingly saying that Canada should become US' 51st state, Canada's Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said, "The president was telling jokes. The president was teasing us." Trump made the remark after Canadian PM Justin Trudeau last week said a tariff hike to 25% would kill his country's economy.
