Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela will become the 51st, 52nd, and 53rd states.

U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility of expanding the United States by merging Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela in a sarcastic tone.

According to The Washington Post, during a speech at a dinner on Saturday night, the U.S. leader discussed the topic of territorial expansion. He clarified that he has no plan to militarily occupy Greenland, but remains interested in purchasing it.

This politician said: "I never intended for Greenland to become the 51st state. I want Canada to become the 51st state. Greenland would become the 52nd state. Venezuela might become the 53rd state."

The newspaper's commentator emphasized that the president's remarks were made in a joking context and are not an official foreign policy stance.

Previously, Trump had called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau "the governor of the 51st state of America."
