Former US President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States, particularly in the context of ongoing trade disputes and tariffs. This latest comment comes after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation.
WATCH: After announcing his intention to resign as prime minister on Monday, Justin Trudeau said his “one regret” was not being able to introduce electoral reform. Trudeau said it “wouldn’t have been responsible” to do so without the support of other parties.In a post to his social media platform Truth Social Monday, Trump wrote “many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st State.“The United States can no longer suffer the massive Trade Deficits and Subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat.
Details of their discussion are scarce, but Trump said it was a “very productive meeting” and Trudeau called it an “excellent conversation.”, reported that Trump suggested to Trudeau that if the tariffs would kill the Canadian economy then maybe the country should become the 51st state.
“The conversation was going to be lighthearted. The president was telling jokes. The president was teasing us. It was, of course, on that issue in no way a serious comment. “We had a discussion on trade issues, on border security that was very productive, but the fact that there’s abetween the two leaders and the president is able to joke like that for us it was a positive thing.”22-year-old tourist killed while bathing elephant at Thailand sanctuary22-year-old tourist killed while bathing elephant at Thailand sanctuary
