Maggie Haberman from the New York Times described President-elect Trump’s comments about Canada as being more of a "troll" than a genuine intention for expansion.
During her appearance on CNN's "AC360," Haberman highlighted Trump's characterization of Canada as potentially the "51st state."
She noted that this rhetoric seems to reflect an "expansionist mindset" rather than a feasible policy outcome.
Haberman mentioned Trump’s earlier comments regarding the acquisition of Greenland and the Panama Canal as part of a longstanding interest in territorial expansion.
In light of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation, Trump’s comments have reignited discussions about merging the U.S. and Canada.
