Trump Proposes Canada as 51st State to Eliminate Trade Deficits and Enhance Security
Jan 6, 2025, 05:59 PM
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has reignited discussions about Canada potentially becoming the 51st state of the United States. Trump has suggested that many people in Canada would favor this move, and he has criticized the current trade deficits and subsidies that he claims Canada relies on. He also proposed that merging with the U.S. would eliminate tariffs, lower taxes, and enhance security against threats from Russian and Chinese ships. Additionally, Trump referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as 'Governor Justin Trudeau,' suggesting a shift in Canada's status. This comes in the wake of Trudeau's resignation, which Trump celebrated with another call for the merger.
