💨 Abstract

US President-elect Donald Trump suggested making Canada the 51st state, citing Canada's low military spending, subsidies, and trade deficits with the US. He justified this by stating that Canada takes a significant portion of the US car business and receives subsidies from the US, amounting to $200-$250 billion annually. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed the idea, stating it was not feasible.
