Trump says Canada will become 51st state ‘because that’s the only way it works’

Trump repeated that Canada will become the 51st state while citing milk tariffs and U.S. factory relocations.

  • On Wednesday, President Donald Trump told a crowd in Bullhead City, Arizona, that Canada will "end up being the 51st state," comparing the country to his interest in acquiring Greenland.
  • Trump cited longstanding grievances to justify his rhetoric, including Canadian tariffs on milk, car manufacturing relocations to the United States, and his desire to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America."
  • Defending the projection, Trump stated, "They'll end up being the 51st state, because that's the only way it works," adding that while the United States does not need Canada, the country needs the U.S.
  • Reactions were swift, with political commentator "Tea Pain" writing "Two 51st states!" while liberal commentator Vince Wilson and the Meidas Touch network characterized the rhetoric as "deeply unwell."
  • These remarks occur amid ongoing trade tensions between Canada and the United States, as the administration continues to pressure the northern neighbor over economic policies and trade practices.
