Donald Trump has suggested several times that Trudeau should make Canada the 51st state of the United States.



Donald Trump has quite practical reasons for wanting to make Canada part of the United States of America. This was said by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, writes Bloomberg.

According to Trudeau in the bowels of Canada is a lot of critical natural fossil materials, which is what attracts Trump.

They are very aware of our resources, what we have, and they very much want to be able to capitalise on that,'' Trudeau said. - But Trump implies that one of the easiest ways to do that is to absorb our country. And that's a real thing,'' Trudeau said during a meeting with business leaders and politicians in Toronto to discuss how Canada can diversify its economic co-operation with the U.S. amid Trump's latest tariff announcements.

He stressed that Canada has a wide range of important minerals needed for the production of mobile phones, batteries for electric vehicles and the defence industry.

Note that Canada is rich in minerals: oil, natural gas, coal, potash, uranium, cobalt, nickel, zinc ores, sulphur, copper ore, gold, lead ores, silver, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires. among others. One of Canada's most significant resources is its forests, which cover a large part of its territory. Lakes of Canada are another natural wealth of this country. They are considered to be one of the largest lakes in the world by area and contain invaluable reserves of fresh water.
