US President Donald Trump said during an interview that he is serious about making Canada the 51st state of America. Brett Bair of Fox News Channel questioned Trump whether his intention to make Canada an American state is true.
In response to this, Trump agreed and said that yes it is true. They said,
I think Canada would be better as the 51st state, as we are suffering a loss of $ 200 billion every year with Canada. And I will not let this happen.
Trump described 200 billion dollars in trade with Canada as a subsidy to the states. Trump has already spoken about making Canada the 51st state of America many times before.
Trump met Trudeau in Florida in November 2024 after winning the presidential election. During this time too, Trump jokingly offered Canada to be made the 51st state of America.
Trudeau also said- Trump Sirius, wants to capture resources
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a meeting in a closed room with business and labor organizations on Friday, 7 February. During this time, he described Trump’s desire to join Canada in America as serious. According to CBC report, Trudeau said that,
Trump wants to capture Canada’s natural resources. Mr. Trump’s mind is that the easiest way is to grab our country. During my conversation with him, it was understood that they are well acquainted with our resources and want to take advantage of them. ”
America has described the artificial line of Canada border
Speaking to the media in Florida on 7 January last month, Trump said that you (Canada) should get rid of the artificial line drawn between the two countries. It will also be better for national security. This will be a big deal for Canada and America.
Trump said about Canada’s military expenses,
They have a very small army. They depend on our army. But they have to pay for this.
However, Trump made it clear that he would not use any kind of military power to control Canada. He talked about using economic power instead of military.
