United States President Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account on Monday. He claimed that America does not need to trade with Canada.
Trump said the United States has unlimited energy, can build its own cars, and has more lumber than it could ever use. He pointed out that the U.S. spends hundreds of billions of dollars to help subsidize Canada.
Trump argued that without these subsidies, Canada would struggle to exist as a viable nation.
He went further and proposed that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States.
According to him, this change would bring lower taxes, stronger military protection, and the removal of tariffs.
This suggestion is not new. Earlier in January, Trump again raised the idea of a merger after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned. His comments have sparked strong reactions from both supporters and critics.
