Trump says ‘highly unlikely’ U.S. ever uses military force to annex Canada
U.S. President Donald Trump says it is “highly unlikely” the United States would ever use military force to annex Canada, though he maintains he will continue to push to make Canada the 51st state.
In a wide-ranging interview on NBC’s “Meet The Press” which aired Sunday, Trump said he wouldn’t rule out military force against Greenland, but he didn’t see it happening with Canada.
“I think we’re not going to ever get to that point,” Trump said.
“Something could happen with Greenland. I’ll be honest, we need that for national and international security.”
“But I think it’s highly unlikely … I don’t see it with Canada. I just don’t see it, I have to be honest with you.”
Trump’s remarks come as Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to have his first face-to-face meeting with the president this week in Washington, in which the countries’ trade war will be the top topic of conversation.
