"Oh Canada": Donald Trump Unveils New US Map Amid Debate
On his social media site Truth Social, the soon-to-be US president posted a map depicting Canada as included within the United States, captioned, "Oh Canada!" Following a hint at the "beginning of America's golden age," the president-elect presented a revised map that shows Canada as part of the US. This development occurred shortly after Mr. Trump indicated he could utilize "economic force" to integrate Canada into the US.
On the social media platform Truth Social, the incoming leader of the US released a map illustrating Canada as integrated into the US, accompanied by the phrase, "Oh Canada!" Just before his post, Donald Trump reiterated his proposal for Canada to become the 51st state while suggesting the use of "economic force" for the assimilation of Canada into the US.
While addressing the media at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida shortly after his electoral win was confirmed, Trump remarked, "If we eliminate that artificially created boundary and observe what it would resemble, it would significantly enhance national security." He added, "Canada and the US together would be quite remarkable."
He also expressed worries regarding Canada’s defense budget, stating, "Their military is quite limited. They depend on our military. That’s acceptable, yet they must contribute to that. It’s rather inequitable."
When questioned if he would resort to military interventions to bring Canada under control, the soon-to-be president replied, "No, economic measures."
Pledging to "quickly revitalize the economy," Mr. Trump stated, "We are nearing the start of America’s golden era."
Subsequently, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to Trump's assertions, stating that uniting the nations is not an option. "There isn’t even the faintest chance that Canada would merge with the United States. Both our countries gain from being each other's largest trade and security partners," Mr. Trudeau posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
