Trump Proposes Canada Become 51st State, Citing $100 Million Subsidy as 'Great Idea'
Dec 18, 2024, 12:00 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has suggested that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States, claiming that many Canadians support the idea and that it would save them money on taxes and military protection. In a post on his social media platform, Trump questioned why the U.S. subsidizes Canada "to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year," calling it nonsensical. He referred to Canada as "financially bankrupt" and labeled making it the 51st state a "great idea." During a recent meeting at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump referred to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as "Governor Justin Trudeau" and joked about Canada's potential statehood, emphasizing the financial benefits for both countries.
