WASHINGTON — President Trump again said Tuesday he wanted Canada to be America’s 51st state — but was rebuffed by newly-elected Prime Minister Mark Carney in a tense exchange in the Oval Office.
“I still believe that, but, you know, it takes two to tango,” Trump told reporters — saying too that Carney could offer nothing to change his mind about new tariffs on America’s northern neighbor.
Trump later gave more extensive commentary on a possible North American political union, calling the US-Canada border an “artificial line” and saying it would lead to a “massive tax cut” for them.
“When you look at that beautiful formation [on a map] when it’s together — I’m a very artistic person — but when I looked at that, I said, ‘That’s the way it was meant to be’,” Trump said. “No. It’s just the way it is,” Trump said of changing course on his new levies against Canada.

President Trump just humilatined Carney on live tv.He showed Canada, the junior Nation that it is. So proud of him!
Socialists don’t believe in buying or selling. Just stealing.
Massive Tax Cut for them mean Massive Tax Increase for us.
And the last thing we need is another 20 million socialist voters.
Canada won’t become like us.
We will become like them.
Now we wait for Alberta to get angrier and angrier, and come to us with a deal.
America refers to the ‘new world’ as defined by the original conquistadors that came hundreds of years ago.
So, borrowing from them, America should be the U.S. and Canada and Mexico and Central America and South America.
Let’s take it all!
Alberta. This is ALL about Alberta
If Trump was a communist he would just kidnap Canada, not deal with them as a neighbor country. Poking Trudeau (baby Castro) in the a$$ with a cholla cactus is pretty funny, I don’t care who you are.
Who said anything about paying for it?
Canada’s Deep State won’t let them leave.
Albertans need to have a plan for when they find that out the hard way.
THIS has been his strategy all along.
Canada is showing itself as a controlled colony of London-Brussels-WEF globalists.
These people, as an ideology, were tightly aligned with the DC deep-state and democrat party. Thus the USA’s previous deep involvement with their projects like Ukraine, NATO, joint internet censorship, coordinated migrant flows, etc...
The EU neo-marxists and the US neo-marxists were absolutely aligned.
Trump is at war with the US deep-state, so by default, he is at war with the London-Brussels-WEF deep-state
And their forward operating base in North America is now Canada. They had to parachute-in Carney, the guy with 3 passports, who hasn’t lived in Canada for 12 years, who has never been elected to anything previously, is a globalist central banker, has a tranny son — to try and keep control.
Two or four new senators from Canada would likely add democRATS to the Senate. Last thing we need is ultra lib Canada.
Mark Carney?
UN, WEF, Globalist Puke
Canada will fail under him.
Post of the Day!
Canada not for sale is hardly a socialist talking point, amigos. 99% of Canadians are not interested. Most of the western Canada sovereignty movement prefer independence.
Trump should abandon his Napoleon complex and concentrate on what he was elected to do, kick out the illegals, restore the economy. Jacking up consumer prices on everything is not going to go over well with his base, let alone those who didn’t vote for him. I supported Trump on the basis of what I thought he was going to do, if I had known he was going to meddle in Canadian politics and make absurd statements about all sorts of things, then I might have not bothered to do so.
I think it’s only a matter of time until a majority of people here start to experience buyer’s remorse and sooner or later Trump will be a George W. Bush figure and not Reagan 2.0. I’m not saying this in any spirit of animosity, I want the basic objectives to succeed. But go slower on the international stuff, there’s a danger of isolating the movement to the extent that one false move will kill it off.
Reagan and Thatcher were more methodical and frankly, had better advisors.
This 51st state business is stupid. Most Canadians are against the idea and it would be detrimental to the U.S.
Canada is not for sale...unless you are China.
Absolutely true. Amazing and a bit scary that more don't realize that would be what happens.
We are in the process of trying to get rid of 20 million or so potential / already illegally voting Democrats. Let’s not acquire 30 million more. Let the maple leaves rot.
