Trump has said Canada should be the 51st state. Today, he meets its prime minister
Briefly

President Trump is scheduled to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney following recently heightened tensions due to Trump's tariffs and statements suggesting Canada could become the "51st state." Carney, leader of the Liberal Party, won Canada's recent election amid concerns over Trump's aggressive rhetoric impacting Canada's trade-dependent economy. Carney has made strong remarks about protecting Canada's sovereignty, while Trump downplayed the meeting's significance, emphasizing a focus on deals. The encounter represents a chance to reset U.S.-Canada relations amidst ongoing disputes over tariffs and trade.
As I've been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. These are not idle threats.
It could happen. If Canada was a state, it wouldn't cost us. It would be such a great state.
Everybody does want to make a deal because we have something that they all want.
President Trump single-handedly helped revive our party and fuel our campaign.
