President Trump declared February 9th as 'Gulf of America Day,' marking a significant escalation in his controversial plan to annex Canada. He asserted that Canada would be 'better off' as the US's 51st state and pledged to investigate government departments for fraud and abuse under Elon Musk's leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency.
Donald Trump declared February 9th as the first-ever 'Gulf of America Day,' intensifying his controversial plan to make Canada the US's 51st state. He asserts that Canada would be 'better off' as part of the United States. During a flight to the Super Bowl in New Orleans, Trump signed a proclamation recognizing the day, claiming it was his 'first visit to the Gulf of America since its renaming.
' His Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, explained the proclamation's significance, stating that it officially designated February 9th as 'Gulf of America Day.' Burgum also revealed that Google Maps would change the basin's name from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America later that afternoon, a move he confirmed was already underway. Trump's ambition to annex Canada resurfaced during an interview with Fox News, where he reiterated his desire to make Canada the US's 51st state. He questioned the rationale behind the US's annual $200 billion subsidy to Canada and suggested that annexation would eliminate this expenditure. Trump's national security adviser, Mike Waltz, previously downplayed the likelihood of a US invasion and annexation of Canada, citing discontent among some Canadians with the political direction of the country. However, Trump's assertion that Canada would be 'much better off' as a US state remains a striking proposition.Trump also expressed his unwavering support for Elon Musk, who leads the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump tasked Musk with investigating potential fraud within government departments, particularly the Department of Education and the military. He predicted Musk would uncover billions of dollars in 'fraud and abuse.' Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reacted to Trump's annexation plans with a dismissive remark, suggesting they were 'a real thing.'Trump's trip to the Super Bowl was marked by several pronouncements related to international trade and security. He announced plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports and threatened reciprocal tariffs on unspecified countries. These actions followed the implementation of a $1.3 billion plan and deployment of 10,000 troops to strengthen the US border with its two neighbors
