US White House spokesman made remarks on the Canada issue.
According to Sputnik News Agency on April 16, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt of the White House said that US President Trump still insists on his position in favor of Canada joining the United States as its 51st state.
Canada and the United States are both members of the Western G7 group. Canada's land area is even larger than that of the United States, but Canada only has a population of 40 million people, while the United States has 335 million people. The technological strength, military strength, and economic strength of the United States are more than ten times that of Canada. US President Trump has always believed that Canada depends on the United States for survival, and without the United States, Canada would face great difficulties. In fact, Canada has abundant natural resources, especially large reserves of oil and natural gas, which are enough for Canadians to live a wealthy life, and it does not need to rely on the United States at all. If the United States forcibly annexes Canada, the Canadian people will launch a new "North American Independence Movement".
