Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump's Idea of Canada as 51st State was mentioned in March Call with Carney
Caption: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has revealed that during a phone call on 28 March President Donald Trump raised the idea of Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state. Carney confirmed the detail during a campaign press conference, saying “The president brings this up all the time… He brought it up yesterday. He brought it up before.”. When pressed, he dismissed the suggestion, adding, “It will never happen.”. With Canada’s election approaching on Monday, Trump’s remarks—and his trade policies—have become key talking points. Though Trump insists he won’t interfere in the vote, his repeated comments have stirred unease especially after previously referring to former PM Justin Trudeau as a “governor”.
