Why does Donald Trump want to annex Canada and make it the 51st American condition? Canada is first of all a gigantic territory with a strategic resource, water. And Donald Trump sees an economic interest in it: the end of customs duties between the two countries. Canada is mainly 10 million km². If you add its American neighbor, you get double, nearly 20 million km². Thus, the United States would become the largest country, ahead of Russia and China.
Canada has a strategic resource, water. The country alone has 7 % of freshwater on the planet. Indispensable for agriculture, produce energy and obviously for drinking water. The American population is more numerous and is faced with large droughts in places. Water, Donald Trump wants more. Finally, if Canada were American, finished customs duties. One more argument for Donald Trump because 13 % of products imported into the United States are Canadian. It is mainly oil, cars and steel. Without borders, finished taxes, make way for exchanges and products cheaper for everyone. However, Canada has been independent for more than a century and it intends to remain so.
