U.S. Once Again Undermines Canadian Sovereignty, Reaffirms 51st State Remark

BY Connect Newsroom, Apr 15, 2025 7:56 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that President Trump's position on Canada has not changed.

The United States has once again stirred controversy over Canadian sovereignty. During a press briefing today, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that President Trump's position on Canada has not changed.

Leavitt reaffirmed that Trump continues to believe Canada would benefit from becoming the 51st state of the United States, a long-standing and provocative view that has drawn sharp criticism in Canada.

The comment came in response to a journalist's question asking whether the President had stopped referring to Canada as the 51st state, particularly since the Canadian election campaign began. Leavitt clearly denied any change in Trump’s stance.
