President Trump claimed that Canada is considering joining the US as the 51st state in exchange for inclusion in his missile defense program, the Golden Dome. This assertion came after a speech by King Charles III, which subtly criticized Trump's earlier proposals. Trump cited the financial burden Canada would face as an independent nation compared to the cost-free option of statehood. Although relations have warmed with Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump reiterated his expansionist concept, expressing optimism about the possibility of making it a reality.
"I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State."
"They are considering the offer!"
"I say, 'Never say never,'" Trump told Carney. "I've had many, many things that were not doable and ended up being doable."
