President Donald Trump suggested in an interview that aired during the Super Bowl preshow that Canada should become the 51st state, claiming it would benefit both countries financially. However, this prospect is deeply unpopular among Canadians, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warning that the U.S. desires access to Canada’s natural resources.
Trump’s comments have stirred controversy, with Trudeau revealing that discussions with Trump about annexation are ongoing. Trump also criticized Canada for what he sees as an inadequate contribution to military protection, suggesting that the U.S. may not continue to safeguard the country.
Furthermore, Trump threatened to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada and Mexico, despite a 30-day pause on such measures. He praised billionaire Elon Musk’s efforts to cut government waste and inefficiency and defended Musk’s controversial actions.
The president’s remarks have reignited tensions between the U.S. and Canada, raising concerns about the future of their relationship.
