According to a report by a total station reporter on April 24th local time, US President Trump proposed the idea of making Canada the 51st state of the United States again during his phone call with Canadian Prime Minister Carney on March 28th. This is completely contrary to the statement made later by the Prime Minister himself in public.
According to Canadian media reports, two sources familiar with the matter said that Trump raised the issue of the 51st state during the call and explained the advantages of Canada joining the United States. Carney then expressed his disagreement. At the end of the call, Carney said, "We agree to disagree on this issue."
However, Prime Minister Carney revealed to the outside world later that evening that, "(President) Trump today respects Canada's sovereignty in both private and public remarks."
It is reported that April 28th is the day when the results of the Canadian federal election were announced, and during this election campaign, US-Canada relations have become a focus of attention for many Canadians. (Total station reporter Zhang Sen)
