Trump says his offer for Canada to become 51st US state is for real
The New Indian Express Vellore
|February 11, 2025
Without American trade, the neighbour is not a viable country: Prez
-
PRESIDENT Donald Trump said he is serious about wanting Canada to become the 51st state in an interview that aired Sunday during the Super Bowl preshow.
"Yeah it is," Trump told Fox News Channel's Bret Baier when asked whether his talk of annexing Canada is "a real thing" - as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently warned.
"I think Canada would be much better off being the 51st state because we lose $200 billion a year with Canada. And I'm not going to let that happen," he said. "Why are we paying $200 billion a year, essentially a subsidy to Canada?"
The US is not subsidising Canada. The US buys products from the natural resource-rich nation, including commodities such as oil. While the trade gap in goods has ballooned in recent years to $72 billion in 2023, the deficit largely reflects America's imports of Canadian energy.
