Trump wrote last night (Beijing time, April 28) : "Good luck to the great people of Canada! Elect someone with strength and wisdom who will cut your taxes in half, boost your military to the highest level in the world for free, quadruple the scale of your automotive, steel, aluminum, lumber, energy, and all other industries, with zero tariffs and taxes. If Canada becomes the 51st state of the United States, the artificial boundary drawn many years ago will no longer exist. Just look at how beautiful this land would be. Free movement, no borders. Only benefits, no downsides. It should be this way! The United States can no longer subsidize Canada hundreds of billions of dollars every year like in the past. Unless Canada is a state, it makes no sense!"
[Witty] A few comments: Although the Canadian people do not wish to become the 51st state of the United States, Trump still frequently mentions this idea. With the election day approaching in Canada, Trump has linked taxes, industrial scale, and the Canadian election together. Such remarks not only seem extremely unrealistic but also openly interfere with Canadian internal affairs. Canada is an independent sovereign country, and its electoral process and national development should be decided by the Canadian people themselves, without undue external interference. Trump's statements could not only raise doubts within Canada about American intentions but also add unnecessary complexity to US-Canada relations. This attempt to influence another country's internal affairs through inappropriate remarks is clearly undesirable and goes against the basic principle of mutual respect for sovereignty in international relations.
