«Canada would be better to become 51^e State, because we lose 200 g $ because of Canada, and I’m not going to tolerate this, that’s too much! If it became the 51st state, it would be different, “said Donald Trump without specifying the origin of these figures during an interview with Fox News.

Last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mentioned a room of business people and union leaders gathered in Toronto that Donald Trump was serious in his desire to annex Canada.

Pricing war

During his interview broadcast a few hours from the famous Super Bowl, the American president addressed the 30 -day stay he gave to Mexico and Canada, stressing that the measures to protect the border were not “durable” and that he “should change things”.

In the interview of about fifteen minutes, he briefly discussed the differences between his previous mandate and this one. The 47^e President said that at the time, “he did not know all the right people and that he would have done things differently, if it had been the case”, taking care to add that he had to deal with a strong opposition at the time.

The “new” country

Asked about the relevance of his presence at the Super Bowl 2025, the businessman was surprised that a day as “emblematic” did not attract other presidents in office before.

“I am surprised to learn that I am the first president to attend. I think that as the country has “a new life”, I told myself that it would be a good thing for the country that its president was there, ”he said, adding that the United States had to rally and that economic success would be the way to get there.

As for the winning team, President Trump said that he loved and respected the two teams. He also added that it would be an excellent part, predicting a victory for the Kansas City chiefs.

“This team has an incredible quarter of a quarter (speaking of Patrick Mahomes) who knows how to earn a game. It is an excellent quarter. He has an extraordinary woman whom I love, she is a supporter (Maga), “he concluded.
