"Many dismiss Trump's talk as a joke, but Trump does want to make Canada a U.S. state.
"A recent poll suggests Canadians are not interested, with significant value differences between the neighbouring countries. Statements by Trump about using economic force to incorporate Canada, plus Greenland and the Panama Canal might be also used by the U.S. as a precedent for recognizing Russian annexation of parts of Ukraine."
