White House press conference. Wednesday.
Reporter (audio voiceover): The president continues to call the prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, governor of Canada. I’m curious what he means by that and if there are any plans that are moving forward with trying to make Canada the 51st state. I have a follow up on the economy as well.
Karoline Leavitt (audio voiceover): Sure, well, the president put that in his Truth Social account or his Truth Social post earlier today. He feels strongly that it would be very beneficial for the Canadian people to be the 51st state of the United States. They wouldn’t pay be paying for these tariffs. They’d have much lower taxes if they were part of our great country.
