Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is scheduled to meet with King Charles III today, Monday, to discuss U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to make Canada the 51st state.

These threats have sparked widespread debate in Canada, with King Charles facing criticism for his silence on the matter.
In this context, Trudeau mentioned on Sunday, during his attendance at the European leaders’ summit on Ukraine in London, that he would discuss with the King issues important to Canadians, particularly defending Canada’s sovereignty.

Despite the fact that the anti-monarchy movement in Canada is small, the King’s silence, as the head of state of Canada, on Trump’s threats has sparked renewed discussions on the issue in recent days.
