During a press conference, President Trump mistakenly called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 'Governor' Trudeau while discussing trade relations. Trump proposed that Canada would benefit economically and militarily from becoming the 51st state of the U.S., citing lower taxes and improved security against threats from foreign nations such as Russia and China. He questioned the logic of providing substantial subsidies to Canada when they are not a state, emphasizing the potential advantages for Canadians if the annexation were to occur.
"They'd have perfect military protection. They don't have any military protection, essentially, because you take a look at what's going on out there...people are in danger."
"Why would we pay $200 billion a year in subsidies to Canada when they're not a state? You do that for a state, but you don't do that for somebody else's country."
