Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary commented on President-elect Donald Trump's suggestion that Canada become the 51st state, highlighting the economic and strategic benefits of a closer union between the two countries. O'Leary acknowledged the concept has been discussed for decades, but believes it's worth exploring further due to the shared resources, military strength, and economic potential.
Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Americas Newsroom,” Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary commented on President-elect Donald Trump ’s comments about Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States .
O’Leary said, “More than half of Canadians, there’s 41 million of them, want to know more, want to understand what the proposal really is because the concept of an economic union has been bandied around for 40 years and it makes sense because the resources Canada have, the U.S. needs, particularly power and water. But there’s something else, you know, we’ve been talking about the border between Canada and the United States. That’s not the problem.
He continued, “The Pentagon is worried and has been for decades about the northern border where China and the USSR are. And we had NORAD decades ago, but China was a nothing burger back then.
O’Leary added, “The opportunity is here is combining strengths. You don’t have to sell the country, you don’t have to even merge it, but you can create a union where you put together the things that matter. A common currency, a common passport, free-flowing trade across the border, particularly in energy. And think about what that means.
