US President-elect Donald Trump, in his Christmas greeting, discussed the advantages of incorporating Canada into the United States. This includes a significant tax reduction, according to US President-elect Trump.
Notably, in his Christmas greeting, the incoming US president touched on several topics.
Specifically, Trump wished a Merry Christmas to everyone, including the "wonderful soldiers of China," who, according to the Republican, exploited the Panama Canal with love but illegally. Trump claimed that the United States lost 38,000 people during the canal's construction 110 years ago.
"(The Chinese illegally exploit the Panama Canal - ed.), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in 'repair' money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about 'anything,'" Trump wrote.
At the same time, he addressed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and clarified the conditions under which the country would receive tax cuts.
"But if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60%, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World," Trump said.
He also emphasized the importance of the people of Greenland, who, he stated, are needed by the United States for national security purposes.
"Who wants the US to be there, and we will!" the US President-elect concluded.
As a reminder, Donald Trump spoke about purchasing Greenland, repeatedly offered Canada the chance to become the 51st US state, and also threatened to return the Panama Canal to American control.
