Trump Raises the Issue of the "51st State" Again; Canadian Prime Minister Says "Reserves Different Opinions"
Powered by ChatGPTOdaily Planet Daily News reports that on March 28, U.S. President Trump, during a phone call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, once again proposed the idea of making Canada the 51st state of the United States, which starkly contrasts with the Prime Minister's later public statements.
According to Canadian media reports, two insiders familiar with the matter said that Trump raised the issue of the 51st state during the call and explained the advantages of Canada joining the United States. Trudeau subsequently expressed his differing opinion. At the end of the call, Trudeau said: "We agreed to disagree on this matter."
However, information revealed by Prime Minister Trudeau later on the evening of the 28th indicated that "President Trump respected Canada's sovereignty in both private and public remarks today."
It is noted that April 28 is the date for the announcement of the Canadian federal election results, and during this campaign, Canada-U.S. relations have become a focus for many Canadians.
