Canadians want to be 51st state of US: Trump

KABUL (Pajhwok): Following the resignation of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, America’s president-elect says Canadians love to be the 51st state of the United States.

According to CBC, Donald Trump’s reaction to the resignation of the Canadian prime minister came late on Monday.

Trump said: “Many people in Canada love being the 51st state. The United States can no longer suffer the massive trade deficits and subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat.”

If Canada became part of the US, he believed, there would be no tariffs and taxes would decrease significantly.

Additionally, Trump said, his country would be permanently secured from threats from Russian and Chinese ships.

Trudeau announced late last night his resignation as leader of the ruling Liberal Party and prime minister of Canada.

The premier added he would remain in office until his successor was chosen.
