In his second term, President Trump has focused on key issues including Executive Orders, tariffs, and foreign relations, especially regarding Canada. During interviews, Trump expressed a controversial desire to annex Canada as the '51st state', claiming it would resolve trade disputes and benefit both nations economically. Despite Canada's firm rejection of this idea, Trump remains committed to discussing it, stressing the advantages he perceives from such a union. This sentiment highlights his persistent approach to address perceived unfair trade practices with Canada while navigating the complexities of diplomatic relations in his presidency's early days.
I’ve always said that if Canada becomes a state, it would simplify trade, eliminate tariffs, and strengthen our bond with them.
Trump insisted he congratulated Prime Minister Carney but reiterated his stance on statehood, continuously pushing the narrative that the union would benefit both countries.
