Trump renews offer to make Canada 51st state

Hours after the resignation of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, US President-elect Donald Trump on Monday renewed his offer of making Canada the 51st state of the United States.

“Many people in Canada would 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,” Trump said on Truth Social.

Trump, who never had a good relationship with Trudeau even during his first term, has been floating the idea of making Canada the 51st state of the US ever since he met Trudeau after his November 5 electoral victory in Mar-a-Lago.
