LOADING ERROR LOADINGTORONTO (AP) — 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. Advertisement“It’s becoming very counterproductive,” LeBlanc said, referring to Trump’s rhetoric about Canada. Trudeau announced Monday he will resign as prime minister and will stay on until a new Liberal leader is chosen. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. consumes about 20 million barrels a day, while domestically producing about 13.2 million barrels a day. This means about quarter of the oil the U.S. consumes every day is from Canada.
