As Canadians prepare for federal elections, Marco Rubio responded to President Trump's previous remarks suggesting Canada could become the 51st state. Trump claimed that former Prime Minister Trudeau acknowledged Canada cannot thrive without unfair trade practices with the U.S. In this context, Trump implied statehood would eliminate tariffs. Despite Trump's assertions, current Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney firmly rejected the notion, emphasizing its impossibility. The exchange reflects ongoing tensions over trade tariffs, with both countries imposing retaliatory measures amidst a backdrop of diplomatic discourse.
"If you can't survive as a nation without treating us unfairly in trade, then you should become a state" - Marco Rubio addressing Trump's annexation comments.
"What I'd like to see; Canada become our 51st state... If people wanted to play the game right, it would be 100% certain that it would become a state." - Donald Trump.
