In a Mar-a-Lago meeting, President Donald Trump suggested Canada could solve its trade and immigration woes easily.
Simply join the U.S. as state #51.
After their dinner, President Trump reportedly got straight to the point about the problem with Canada’s border security.
Also the fact that we’re being ripped off of about $100 billion.
But Trump is a fair guy.
He offered to let Trudeau be governor of the 51st state.
BREAKING: Trump reportedly told Justin Trudeau that if his tariffs destroyed Canada, and the country could not survive without “ripping off the U.S. to the tune of $100 billion a year,” then Canada should become the United States’ 51st state, with Trudeau serving as its governor. pic.twitter.com/fBBeCYCOob

Fox News reports:
President-elect Trump suggested to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week that if a tariff for failing to address trade and immigration issues would kill the neighbor to the north’s economy, maybe it should become the 51st state, sources told Fox News.
Last Friday, Trudeau flew to Mar-a-Lago unannounced after Trump threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products. Specifically, Trump is threatening to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico over their failures to curb the flow of illegal immigrants and illicit drugs from those countries into the U.S.
Now, new details are beginning to emerge about the meeting between the two men, which Trump called “very productive.”
Before nibbling on crab cocktail and slurping down oysters, the issues of tariffs, border security and trade deficits were front and center.
According to two people at the table who heard the discussion, Trump, while cordial and welcoming, was very direct when it came to what he wants from his counterpart to the North.
Paraphrasing the discussion, Trump told Trudeau that Canada has failed the U.S. border by allowing large amounts of drugs and people across the border, including illegal immigrants from over 70 different countries.
Sources say Trump became more animated when it came to the U.S. trade deficit with Canada, which he estimated to be more than $100 billion.
Justin Trudeau: "New tariffs will kill the Canadian economy."
Donald Trump: "Well, maybe Canada should become the 51st state, and you can be its governor!"
