Trump met with newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Carney at the White House, and in front of numerous media outlets, the president mentioned the topic of Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States:
"I believe this will bring significant tax cuts to Canadian citizens. You can have a free army...and enjoy quality medical insurance. There are many benefits."
Canada's per capita GDP ranks second globally, just after the United States. Can they not afford their own army?
Canada's healthcare system is very well-established; many Americans come to Canada to buy medicine. Some even choose to reside in Canada for convenience of treatment.
