HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA — President Donald Trump is reinserting himself into Canadian politics ahead of Monday’s parliamentary election, bringing back his proposal for the nation to become America’s “51st state.”
Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday that Canada would “cease to exist” without the United States and reiterated his belief that the country would be better served as a state.
“I have to be honest, as a state [Canada] works great,” Trump said. “Ninety-five percent of what they do is they buy from us and they sell to us.”
