President-elect Donald Trump has suggested that Mexico and Canada should become a U.S. state if they want to continue receiving subsidies from their neighboring country. The president-elect had made a similar remark regarding Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had reportedly told the president-elect during a November 29 meeting at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida that the tariff plans would devastate Canada's economy. The Republican is said to have jokingly suggested, "Maybe Canada should become the 51st state" in response.
