Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with King Charles III on Monday and reportedly discussed the King making a public declaration in support of Canada's sovereignty.
Charles, who is the head of state of Canada as a British commonwealth nation, drew backlash in Canada for extending an invitation for a state visit to Donald Trump, while Trump is actively promoting the idea of annexing Canada and making it the "51st state."
"I can tell you that nothing seems more important to Canadians right now than standing up for our sovereignty and our independence as a nation," Trudeau told reporters in the lead up to the meeting with the King.
Constitutionally, the King cannot take any political action in a nation unless formally asked to do so by the prime minister, so ministerial advice from Trudeau would be the first step in the King getting involved to defend Canada from Trump.
