Kevin O’Leary, the ‘Shark Tank’ television personality and Canadian businessman, informed Fox Business that he intends to visit Mar-a-Lago to propose to President-elect Donald Trump the establishment of an economic union between the United States and Canada.
Trump recently proposed the notion of annexing Canada in exchange for a reduction in their tariffs. Additionally, he referred to the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, as the “governor” of the 51st state.
O’Leary stated in a Thursday interview on Fox Business that Trump should establish an economic union between the United States and Canada in order to eliminate the borders between the two countries.
Also, O’Leary observed that the economic merger should establish a unified currency.
“There’s 41 million Canadians, basically the population of California sitting on the world’s largest amounts of all resources, including the most important energy and water. Canadians, over the holidays, the last two days have been talking about this. They want to hear more.” O’Leary said.
“And so, you know, there’s obviously a lot of issues and more details. But what this could be is the beginning of an economic union.” he continued.
“Think about the power of combining the two economies, erasing the border between Canada and the United States and putting all that resource up to the northern borders where China and Russia are knocking on the door. So secure that give a common currency, figure out taxes across the board, get everything trading both ways, create a new, almost EU like passport. I like this idea and at least half of Canadians are interested.” he added.
“The problem is the government’s collapsing Canada right now. Nobody wants Trudeau to negotiate this deal. I don’t want him doing it for me. So I’m going to go to Mar a Lago. I’ll start the narrative. The 41 million Canadians, I think most of them would trust me on this deal.” O’Leary concluded.
