Donald Trump Suggests Canada Could Become the 51st U.S. State

US President-elect Donald Trump sparked conversations with a provocative suggestion on Wednesday, stating on social media that it would be “a great idea” for Canada to become the 51st U.S. state to benefit “many Canadians.”

In a post on Truth Social, Trump declared, “Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State. They would save massively on taxes and military protection. I think it is a great idea. 51st State!!!” This isn’t the first time Trump has toyed with the idea. This notion has previously been met with humour and scepticism, particularly following the sudden resignation of Canada’s deputy prime minister.

A recent Leger survey revealed that just 13% of Canadians support merging with the United States. This topic was previously discussed between Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which sparked laughter during a social event at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

Trump’s comments have stirred discussions in Ottawa, with some Canadian officials dismissing the idea as inappropriate and an indirect threat. Despite Trump’s casual remarks, experts like the University of British Columbia’s Professor Max Cameron suggest that Trump’s presidency could hinder closer U.S.-Canada integration.

Canada’s Response to U.S. Concerns

Amid these conversations, Canadian officials remain focused on substantive issues. Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc emphasized that despite Trump’s comments, he and Trudeau have engaged in “productive” discussions with the president-elect’s team. Recently, Canada announced new border security and immigration measures to address concerns raised by the U.S., including establishing a joint Canada-U.S. “strike force” to tackle transnational crime and increasing military spending.

Trump also claimed that the U.S. subsidizes Canada by over a billion dollars annually, which has raised questions given the extensive trade relations between the two nations. Julien Martin, an economics professor, highlighted that for many Republicans, trade deficits are seen as detrimental to the U.S. economy, representing job losses and a decline in manufacturing.

Though Trump’s idea of Canada joining as the 51st state is probably intended humorously, it highlights the intricate dynamics of U.S.-Canada relations and the wider debates surrounding trade, security, and diplomatic interactions between the nations.
