Trump spoke about Canada again: Could it become the 51st state of the United States?

US President Donald Trump is once again in the spotlight with his controversial statements about Canada. During a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House, he once again mentioned the possibility of Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States. According to him, such a scenario could provide "many advantages".

Trump said: "If it happens, it would be beneficial for both countries. We are very close economically, culturally and strategically. It would be a natural step to formalize such a closeness."

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded to this statement with humor, commenting: "You know in real estate - there are some places that will never be sold."

However, Donald Trump responded by saying that "never say never" and said that he did not intend to formally discuss the issue at this meeting.

This is not the first time. Trump has made several proposals for Canada to join the United States before. His statements have caused widespread debate in Canada, with Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc calling them "unnecessary noise." He said Trump is trying to create confusion among the public through such statements.

The president's attitude towards Canada has been filled with negative statements before. He has openly criticized representatives of Justin Trudeau's government, calling them "disgusting."

This statement is seen as a continuation of a long-standing trend in Trump's attitude towards Canada. According to political analysts, such statements by Trump serve to gain attention and votes in domestic politics.

Canadian officials, however, do not take Trump's words seriously and note that they are in favor of maintaining a strategic partnership between the two countries. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
