U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has again commented on Canada’s sovereignty, saying he’s eager for another meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom he referred to as a state “governor.”

The remark is an apparent reference to Trump’s recent quip that Canada could become the 51st U.S. state, and Trudeau the governor.
