Trump Again Proposes That Canada Become the 51st State of the United States, and Canada's Election Faces a Test

Canada Election Vote: Trump Again Proposes Making Canada the 51st State of the United States

On Monday, April 28, Canada held a national election. U.S. President Donald Trump once again made high-profile remarks, calling for Canada to become the 51st state of the United States, sparking strong reactions from all sides in Canada.

According to Agence France-Presse, Trump posted on his social platform "Truth Social," stating: "If Canada becomes the 51st state of the United States, we will no longer be constrained by artificially drawn boundaries. Look at how beautiful this land is, free passage, borderless, what a positive vision this is."

Trump's remarks quickly drew responses in Canadian political circles. Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, said on X: "President Trump, stay out of our election. Canada will always be proud, sovereign, and independent, and we will never become the 51st state."

Justin Trudeau, leader of the ruling Liberal Party and current prime minister, also stated: "We are in Canada, and it is up to us to decide the future of our country."

This election is considered one of the most crucial in recent years in Canada. Under the shadow of trade wars, economic turbulence, and strained relations with the United States, citizens cast their votes. Preliminary results are expected to be announced late Monday, April 28, or early Tuesday, April 29.
