Trump's Latest 'Wish' About Canada Has Canadians Saying 'Not Now, Not Ever'
HuffPost
The president has indicated he's not joking about his hopes to annex the country's northern neighbor.
Donald Trump said he was serious about his desire for Canada to become a U.S. state, vexing many Canadians.
In an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News, anchor Bret Baier asked the president about comments made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a private meeting on Friday.
“He said that your wish for Canada be the 51st state is a quote, ‘real thing.’ Is it a real thing?” Baier asked.
“Yeah, it is,” Trump replied. “I think Canada would be much better off being a 51st state, because we lose $200 billion a year with Canada and I’m not going to let that happen.”
“It’s too much. Why are we paying $200 billion a year, essentially in subsidy to Canada? Now, if they are a 51st state, I don’t mind doing it,” he added.
They warned how it's an "alarming first step" by the president.
The late night host said the president already had a "petty" reaction to this one.
