Trump proposes tax cut for Canadians in bid for statehood as he eyes territorial expansion

Donald Trump, the president-elect, has proposed a 60 percent tax cut for Canadians if they agree to join the U.S. as the 51st state. This marks his strongest push for territorial expansion into Canada, Greenland, and Panama. Trump has mocked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, calling him "governor," and suggested that Canadians desire statehood. Trudeau has dismissed Trump's comments as jokes, while Trump continues to assert that the U.S. needs control of Greenland for national security. In addition, Trump has expressed interest in retaking control of the Panama Canal, prompting a strong response from Panama's president, who stated that the canal belongs to Panama.
