Before a soccer match between the America and Canada on Thursday, US President Donald Trump once more stoked the contentious issue, bringing up his proposal to make America’s northern cousin the 51st state.
On Thursday ( February 20 ), the USA and Canada will compete in Boston for the 4 Nations Face-Off championship.
While wishing the Hockey team win, Trump didn’t missed a chance to taunt Trudeau afterwards. He claimed that Canada, which has significantly lower taxes and much better security, may one day be the state of the US 51st. He likewise called Trudeau” Governor”.
“I’ll be calling our Excellent American Hockey Team this morning to spur them on towards victory tonight against Canada, which with Way LOWER TAXES AND MUCH STRONGER SECURITY, will eventually, even quickly, become our appreciated, and really important, Fifty First State. I will be speaking before the Governors evening in D. C., and did unfortunately, hence, be unable to attend”, he said on a post on Truth Social.
” But we will all be watching, and if Governor Trudeau would like to meet us, he would be most welcome. Good fortune to nobody, and have a GREAT sport now. But exciting! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP”, he added.
As he proposes eradicating the 5, 525-mile-long borders that divides the two countries, President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that Canada should be the 51st US position.
On February 7, 2025, during a private meeting with business and workers officials, Trudeau disclosed that Trump’s statement to make Canada the 51st U. S. position was” a true thing”, linking it to exposure to the world’s natural resources.
Mr. Trump realizes that absorbing our nation is a real issue, which is the simplest way to do it. In my conversations with him on …”, Mr. Trudeau stated, as reported by CBC, Canada’s open journalist. They are very aware of the sources we have, and they very much want to be able to use those tools.
On February 9, 2025, whilst travelling to the Super Bowl in New Orleans, Mr. Trump, speaking from Air Force One, continued his aggressive approach towards one of America’s longest-standing friends. He asserted Canada’s non-viability without U. S. industry and cautioned that the NATO establishment part does not rely on U. S. military aid.
” You know, they don’t spend very much for defense. And the reason they don’t give little is they assume that we’re going to defend them”, he stated. That’s never a presumption they can generate because they are defending another nation, right?
