Donald Trump once again suggested Canada give up being a sovereign nation and become America’s 51st state, and, once again, Canadians are saying no thanks — or in some cases, “eff off, eh.” Trump was in North Carolina on Friday to look at the damage from last year’s Hurricane Helene when a reporter asked him about his past comments about Canada becoming part of the U.

President Trump told reporters he would "love" to see the nation of Canada become the 51st state, saying the country had been "nasty to us on trade" and that its people could be better off economically if they joined the United States.
