Donald Trump still believes Canada should be the 51st U.S. state. Learn what the White House said, why it matters, and how Canadians are reacting.

Trump Still Wants Canada to Be the 51st U.S. State, Says White House

🇨🇦 What Exactly Did Trump Say?

According to White House insiders, former President Donald Trump brought up the idea again during a private meeting.

He reportedly joked (or maybe not) that Canada would “make a great 51st state.”

It’s not the first time he’s said something like this. Back in his presidency, Trump often made surprising comments about U.S. neighbors. But this one has returned with more buzz.

🤔 Is He Serious?

That’s the big question.

White House staff say Trump was “half-joking.” But others say he’s serious about expanding U.S. power.

He pointed to Canada’s natural resources, close trade ties, and shared border.

Trump believes the two countries are already so connected, they are as well be one.

🧊 How Are Canadians Reacting?

Not everyone is laughing.

Many Canadians see the comment as bold, strange, and even offensive.

Here’s how some Canadians responded on social media:

• “We’re not for sale.”
• “Trump thinks he can just take over Canada? Not happening.”
• “We like our healthcare and maple syrup, thanks.”

It’s clear most Canadians value their independence. And they’re not looking to become part of the U.S.

📜 Can This Even Happen?

Let’s be real—it’s highly unlikely.

For Canada to become a U.S. state, both countries would need to:

• Change major laws
• Hold national votes
• Rewrite parts of their constitutions

In short: it’s not going to happen anytime soon. But that hasn’t stopped Trump from floating the idea again.

🗣️ Why Is Trump Saying This Now?

Some experts think it’s just politics. Trump is known for making bold statements that grab headlines.

Others believe he’s trying to stir up attention ahead of the next U.S. election.

Whatever the reason, it’s working. People are talking about it across North America.

❤️ Final Thoughts

Trump calling for Canada to be the 51st state sound wild. It’s not the first time he’s said something that made the world raise its eyebrows.

It’s unlikely to ever happen. But it’s definitely sparked a conversation.

For now, Canadians can breathe easy. Their flag still flies proudly—and independently.
