In a social media post on the day of Canada's election, President Donald Trump suggested that Canadians should vote for him in order for Canada to become the 51st state.

Canadian Prime Minster Mark Carney's Liberal Party will retain its hold on power, in a reversal of fortunes seen largely as a reaction to Mr. Trump's actions and rhetoric.

The result capped a notable comeback for the Liberals, who had been 20 points behind in the polls in January before Trudeau announced he was quitting and Trump started threatening tariffs and annexation.
