Trump Proposes Canada as 51st State, Promises Tax Cuts and Better Healthcare
Jan 24, 2025, 05:27 PM
President Donald Trump has suggested that Canada could become the 51st state of the United States, offering tax cuts, improved healthcare, and exemption from tariffs as incentives. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Trump said the U.S. has a significant $250 billion trade deficit with Canada and that the country no longer needs Canadian oil, gas, lumber, or automobiles. He referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as 'Governor Trudeau' and noted that the U.S. takes care of Canada's military. Trump expressed belief that Canadians would favor becoming part of the United States due to the benefits, including better health coverage.
