President-elect Trump responded to Trudeau's announcement saying the prime minister is resigning because he knows the U.S. will not put up with trade deficits with Canada. Trump also said many Canadians would love to be the 51st state.

President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to abandon the renewable energy investments that President Joe Biden included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, echoing how President Ronald Reagan dismantled the solar panels Carter installed on the White House roof.
