Trump reignites talk of Canada as America's 51st state
Donald Trump has once again stated that he wishes for Canada to become the 51st state of the USA. "I would like Canada to become our 51st state. We provide them with military protection," said the former president.
Donald Trump reiterated, "What I'd like to see Canada become our 51st state. We give them protection, military protection."
"We don't need them to build our cars. I'd rather see Detroit or South Carolina or any one of our Tennessee, any one of our states build the cars. They could do it very easily. We don't need them for the cars. We don't need them for lumber. We don't need them for anything. We don't need them for energy. We have more energy than they do," the former president listed.
Trump on the annexation of Canada
This is yet another occasion where Donald Trump has publicly discussed annexing Canada to the USA.
"We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why? There is no reason. We don't need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use," Trump remarked on Sunday in a post on his social media platform Truth Social (original spelling).
"Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable country. Brutal, but true! Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State," he added.
"Many people in Canada want to become the 51st state of the USA," Donald Trump suggested even before being sworn in as the president of the USA, commenting on Justin Trudeau’s decision to resign as prime minister. "If Canada merged with the U.S. there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be totally secure…What a great nation we would be," he added at the time.
