HAMILTON, Canada (AA) – Eric Trump, one of US President-elect Donald Trump's sons, sparked a new controversy on social media late Monday when he posted an altered image of his father purchasing Canada on Amazon.

Caption: "We are so back!" The post also includes Greenland and the Panama Canal, which Trump has mentioned incorporating into the US in recent days.

Since his election victory in November, the president-elect has referred to Canada as the "51st state."

It also comes amid heightened tensions with Canada as Trump has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, alarming officials in Ottawa.

In response, Canada's Justin Trudeau government announced a $1.3 billion six-year spending plan aimed at improving border security and addressing US concerns about illegal drug flows.

Trump often refers to Trudeau as "governor" of Canada in his Truth Social posts.
