The conservative cable network reported the President-elect's statement regarding Canada's trade deficit with the U.S. and his suggestion for Canada to either annex itself as the 51st state or split into more liberal and conservative parts to join the U.S. separately. Neither side commented on the remarks.
A conservative cable network claimed that the President-elect made the statement in retaliation the context of Canada 's reaction to his proposed 25 percent tariff increase on all Canadian imports. According to the network, the President-elect said that if Canada cannot survive without its annual US$100-billion trade deficit with the U.S., then it might as well become the 51st state.
He was quoted as suggesting splitting Canada into two, admitting that the states with more liberal tendencies could join the U.S. separately. The President-elect's transition team and the Prime Minister's Office did not respond to requests for comment
