In a recent controversial statement, President-Elect Donald Trump claimed that Canada is a “financially bankrupt country” and proposed that the nation should join the United States as its 51st state. Speaking candidly on the issue, Trump questioned the financial relationship between the two countries, pointing out that the U.S. subsidizes Canada with over $100 million annually. “Makes no sense!” he remarked.

Trump further argued that Canadians would benefit from joining the U.S., citing lower taxes and greater military protection. He also claimed that a number of Canadians support the idea, describing it as a “great move” for both countries.
The statement has sparked a wave of reactions, with critics accusing Trump of overstepping boundaries, while some supporters see it as a bold proposal for North American unity. The suggestion has triggered a wider debate about the financial and political ties between the U.S. and Canada.
