President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated that he wants Canada to become the 51st state of the country. His post on Truth Social comes just after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation following internal strife.
Trump said that the US cannot suffer massive trade deficits and subsidies that Canada needs to remain afloat. There would be no tariffs if Canada merged with the US, he said. 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. Justin Trudeau knew this, and resigned. If Canada merged with the U.S., there would be no Tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be TOTALLY SECURE from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great Nation it would be!!!” said Trump in a post.
