The official X account for the GOP-led House Committee on Foreign Affairs deleted a post supporting Trump's suggestion that the U.S. should take over Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. The tweet claimed, 'We tamed the West, won two World Wars, and were the first to plant our flag on the moon,' emphasizing Trump's ambitious vision for America.
Trump's repeated assertions that Canada should become the 51st state, arguing that many Canadians would welcome it, highlight his unconventional views on U.S.-Canada relations. He framed it as a solution to trade deficits and security concerns, suggesting that without tariffs and with lower taxes, Canada would benefit greatly from such a merger.
During a press conference, Trump did not dismiss the possibility of using military or economic coercion to bring Greenland and the Panama Canal under U.S. control. This approach raises eyebrows among observers, who speculate whether these statements are genuine proposals or merely a means to distract from other pressing issues.
