If you do not need anything from Canada, then why do you want it to be your 51st state?

As a Canadian I’m wondering what the major benefits to joining the US would be. Shorter life expectancy? Higher rates of obesity? Numerous mass school shootings? I think the US should concentrate on its own major dysfunction before trying to acquire another country

[armandovale]

US is protecting Canada from what threats? polar bears? from what i remember is Canadá that supported US in a few foreign adventures….

[Matlg]

Canada is not the county to be fighting with. This is just stupid! Drop this 51st state business, it’s just stupid

Canada's trade deficit with the US is $60B, not $200B. And that is because the US buys oil from Canada at $20 below market value which we agreed to sell to the US exclusively (no one else). 99% of trade between Canada and the US was free trade up until now. He focuses on dairy, which is free trade until a limit (then the 250% tariff comes into play). The US has never achieved this limit, not even half of it, therefore there are no tariffs on US dairy to date. Also, the US has the EXACT SAME LIMITS AND IDENTICAL TARIFFS ON DAIRY. These figures were SET by Trump. The misinformation as unbelievable - and scary to be honest, because he is justifying making a big move on Canada.

Gee I wonder why Trump never talked like this about Canada, or Greenland, Panama, and the Gaza Strip BEFORE the election???

[Swecan]

"Canada is the worst people to negotiate with".... Translation "They don't do what I want and hand over their entire sovereign nation and they get upset when I insult them, how dare they stand up for themselves and not give into my bully ways".... I guess he doesn't know Canadians all that well.

[bankergeorge]

Nasty canada, wow. As a truck driver, I have been to canada a couple of times, and it's cleaner than any place in the United States

[handle]

As a Canadian I'd like to let everyone here know... the ENTIRE trade deficit is due to oil. If you remove oil from the equation, it's a trade SURPLUS. And the oil is a very good deal for the US - you're able to buy crude from Canada at below market value. I don't hear anyone in the US say they're sick of buying our cheap crude oil which fills your refineries in Texas.

Canada is not our enemy! They are our friends, allies and partners in a free world and economy. America First means put Americans first not annexing 🇨🇦 😩

[BirdDogey]

These comments on Canada are not helpful or constructive. Canada is our friend. Don't treat them like an enemy. This is shameful.

[verde]

When even Fox News is calling out Trump's nonsense, you know it's bad.

[toukendanshiwarrior]

Annexing another country when your own country isn’t functioning well and its citizens aren’t living a decent American life in high standards is a joke. Your country is not great and it hasn’t been. You’re making it worse.

[skyliner]

He doesn't want to trade with canada he wants an empire.

[gloriaohara]

Good!!! As a Canadian i can say if he finds us so nasty to deal with then stop trying to take us over and leave us alone!!! We are in no way interested in a dictator like Trump taking us over..our regular candidates are bad enough

[jmacomber]

“Why do you treat Canada worse than our adversaries?”

That’s the fundamental question, he won’t answer.

[LeeRichards-ow]

buying oil is NOT a subsidy America gets a product for the money, a subsidy is a hand out.
The US buys from Canada for 2 reasons, 1 the US does not have enough of the product, and/or 2 the US can buy it cheaper from Canada than they can produce it themselves. STOP calling it a SUBSIDY

[chantalmichiels]

Trump is humiliating the Canadian people : Carney is ready to make talks with European countries: a very good decision!!! Chantal Belgium

[northernbrent]

American people, you are our friends, we fought side by side in wars including Afghanistan. We take issue with your poor leadership. And we will NEVER become a state.

[Squintavius]

I’m a conservative. Right leaning. But this Canada 51st state nonsense is pretty annoying. Stop instigating a partner before all bridges are burned.
