Last I looked Puerto Rico has voted against becoming a state every single time.
Puerto Ricans directly rejected statehood at the ballot box in plebiscites held in 1967, 1993, and 1998. In 2012 and 2017, the people rejected the entire process outright. Some years back, the Puerto Rican independence movement launched over a hundred terrorist attacks in the United States, killing many Americans. What makes you think they will let anyone force them to become a state?

Trump may well turn round and let Puerto Rico go and become an independent country. Nobody wants colonies these days. I don't see the need for or use of any colonies, let Lone Puerto Rico.

Guam and and Virgin Islands will become states? Will you excuse me shile I laugh? Not gonna happen.
