Donald Trump says Justin Trudeau is right, I do want Canada to be 51st state
President Trump said Sunday he is serious about making Canada the nation's 51st state.
In a pre-Super Bowl interview on Fox, Mr. Trump said that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was telling the truth when he told business officials that his talk of making Canada the 51st state is “a real thing.”
“Yes, it is,” Mr. Trump said. “I think Canada would be much better off being a 51st state because we lose $200 billion a year with Canada and I am not going to let that happen.”
Mr. Trump has maintained that Canada is ripping off the United States on trade, arguing Americans are “subsidizing” their neighbor to the north.
“Now, if they are 51st state, I don’t mind doing it,” he said.
