Canadian Prime Minister: Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st state of the United States is real

ChainCatcher news, according to Unusualwhales, a source at a closed-door meeting during the Toronto summit revealed that Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau stated that the suggestion made by U.S. President Trump to make Canada the 51st state of the United States is "real," partly to gain access to Canada's important mineral resources.

In recent months, Trump has repeatedly hinted that if Canada agrees to become the 51st state, it could avoid tariffs, and he even referred to Trudeau as "Governor Trudeau" on social media.
