Trump called on Canada to choose a "higher standard of living" and join the United States.

US President Donald Trump has again called on Canada to join the United States, promising to improve the quality of life of Canadians, strengthen the economy and defense capabilities. On April 28, the American leader announced this on social networks.

"Choose a person who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power for free to the highest level in the world," Trump wrote on the Truth Social network.

Trump stressed that the United States can no longer sponsor Canada with hundreds of billions of dollars a year if it is not a US state.

Trump has repeatedly proposed that Canada become the 51st U.S. state. In particular, on January 6, after Justin Trudeau announced his resignation from the post of head of the ruling party, the American leader again invited the country to join the United States.

Later, on January 7, the Prime Minister of the Canadian province of Ontario, Doug Ford, offered to purchase Alaska against the background of a statement by the American leader.
