Trump Plans Economic Force to Merge U.S. and Canada, Citing $200 Billion Defense Cost
Jan 7, 2025, 05:25 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to use economic measures to facilitate the unification of Canada and the United States, while ruling out military action. Speaking on January 7, 2025, Trump referred to the U.S.-Canada border as an "artificially drawn line" and suggested that uniting the two countries "would really be something." He questioned why the U.S. is "losing $200 billion and more to protect Canada" and emphasized that "we don't need anything they have." Trump stated that he is considering "economic force" to acquire or merge Canada with the U.S., proposing that Canada could become a state. He also mentioned that the United States shouldn't buy cars, lumber, or dairy from Canada.
