Trump Suggests Wayne Gretzky for Canadian Prime Minister

President-elect Donald Trump has publicly suggested that NHL legend Wayne Gretzky should run for Prime Minister of Canada, stating on Truth Social that a 'DRAFT WAYNE GRETZKY Movement' would be entertaining and that Gretzky would win easily without a campaign. This comment comes amid growing pressure on current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has faced calls to resign following the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Trump also proposed that Canada could benefit economically by becoming the 51st U.S. state, claiming taxes would be significantly reduced. Although Gretzky reportedly expressed no interest in running, Trump continues to mock Trudeau's leadership. The Canadian government has downplayed Trump's remarks as jokes, with officials indicating that such comments should not be taken seriously. Meanwhile, Trump's relationship with Canada remains tense, particularly regarding trade tariffs that he has threatened to impose.
