Trump Repeats Proposal for Canada to Become 51st State, Faces Strong Canadian Backlash

President Trump claims Canadians would benefit from tax cuts and improved healthcare under U.S. governance, but Canadians overwhelmingly reject the idea.

During a press conference in North Carolina, President Trump reiterated his idea of Canada joining the United States as its 51st state.
Trump argued that Canadians would see lower taxes and better healthcare, despite Canada's existing universal healthcare system being widely supported by its citizens.
Canadian citizens and public figures responded with widespread criticism and ridicule, rejecting the notion of abandoning their sovereignty and healthcare system.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau firmly dismissed the proposal, stating there is 'not a snowball’s chance in hell' that Canada would join the U.S.
Trump has previously made similar comments about incorporating Canada, citing trade disputes and national security concerns as reasons for the proposal.
