TORONTO (AP) � Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will meet with King Charles III, the country�s head of state, on Monday where he will discuss
U.S. President Donald Trump�s threats to make Canada the 51st state.
The king has come under criticism in Canada for being silent about Trump�s threats to annex Canada.
Trudeau said in London on Sunday he will discuss matters of importance to Canadians with Charles and said �nothing seems more important to Canadians right now than standing up for our sovereignty and our independence as a nation.�
Charles is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
Overall, the antiroyal movement in Canada is small, but the silence of the monarch on Trump�s threats have spurred talk in recent days.
Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said �for Canadians disappointed that
King Charles has not commented� on Trump�s threats he can only act on the advice of Canada�s prime minister.
�The Government of Canada should ask the Head of State to underscore
Canadian sovereignty,� Kenney posted on X.
The king, who met Sunday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has invited Trump to come to Scotland for a state visit.
