U.S. President Donald Trump remains committed to his provocative proposal of absorbing Canada as the 51st U.S. state, despite reducing public remarks during the election campaign, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told CBC reporter Katie Simpson. Leavitt argued that Canada benefits from U.S. defense spending and reaffirmed that the president believes the Canadians would benefit greatly from becoming the 51st state of the United States of America. In Oval Office discussions, Trump signaled support for Canadian automakers, with Leavitt stressing his "flexible" approach to tariff negotiations.
