The president-elect declared that “if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%.”
Trump — who thinks Canada has been ripping off the US over trade — has been taunting Trudeau for weeks by referring to Canada as a prospective US “state” and the prime minister as its “governor.”
In a Christmas Day Truth Social Post, Trump argued that Canada should become a US state because the taxes of its citizens “are far too high.”
O’Leary’s interest in unifying the US and Canada comes after Trump, 78, has repeatedly suggested in recent weeks that Canada should become “our 51st State.”
“The 41 million Canadians, I think most of them would trust me on this deal.”
Trump also asserted that Canadian businesses also “would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World” if the Great White North was to join the US.
“Canadians over the holidays – the last two days – have been talking about this,” O’Leary said of Trump’s proposal, during an interview with Fox Business. “They want to hear more.”
