Donald Trump has questioned whether it would be ‘doable’ to make Canada the 51st state of America while in discussion with newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Since being sworn in as the 47th President of the US, Trump not only rolled out tariffs on multiple countries across the globe, but told Canada the ‘solution’ for the country to avoid such tariffs would be to become America’s 51st state.
Now, even with the 25 percent tariffs on Canada having since come into play, Canada has remained firm in its stance against becoming another state of America, with former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resolving it was never ‘going to happen’ – alongside the country hitting back with its own 25 percent tariffs.
Yesterday (May 6), Trump and newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney sat down at the White House for their first meeting since Carney took over from Trudeau – winning the general election on April 28.
