Responding to a reporter's question, Trump mused during the meeting in the Oval Office this afternoon with Carney that Canada could become the 51st state.
President Donald Trump said on Monday that he had been thinking about Canada, and how "they could become the 51st state, wouldn't that be interesting?"
After discussing a new trade deal with North America with reporters in the Oval Office, Trump was asked by RNC Chair Tom Carney what his plans were for the afternoon.
"Well, I’m a real estate developer at heart," the president began. "And when you get rid of that artificially drawn line — somebody drew that line many years ago with, like, a ruler, just a straight line right across the top of the country. And when you look at that beautiful formation, when it’s together ... when I looked at that, you know, I said, that’s the way it was meant to be."
"It would really be a wonderful marriage, because it’s two places that get along very well. They like each other a lot. And we could make a massive tax cut for the Canadians. There would be a lot of advantages to the people of Canada and the people of the U.S., and it’s something that we’ve discussed," Trump added.
After Trump compared the annexation to a "real estate deal," Carney responded by waving around the room and saying there are some places that are never for sale, and that he has spoken to Canadians about Trump's threats of taking over his country.
"It's not for sale, won't be for sale ever," Carney said.
"Never say never," Trump then said, several times.
