Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary calls Trump's Canada-US Merger proposal a "great idea"
In a December 31 Instagram post, Kevin O'Leary expressed his enthusiasm for President-elect Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st US state. The Shark Tank judge shared that this idea has potential benefits. According to him, Canadians and Americans share a common bond, particularly in their commitment to freedom.
He expressed that many Canadians are eager to learn more about the proposal, which focuses on creating an economic union that has been discussed for over 40 years. O'Leary also mentioned that Canada's abundant resources, such as power and water, are essential to the US, making this proposal a logical step.
O'Leary added that this idea and the opportunity are huge, given the shared values between both residents of both nations.
"I think this is a great idea, and I think the potential is massive, and the opportunity is huge. I think at the end of the day, Canadians and Americans, their DNA is the same in terms of what they believe in… freedom," stated Kevin O'Leary.
The Shark Tank investor further mentioned that a potential union between the US and Canada holds significant promise. O'Leary was initially skeptical, however, he later realized that the idea has merit, envisioning a powerful country with military strength, resources, and global dominance.
For the unversed, Donald Trump sparked debate with a Truth Social post dated December 10 as he sarcastically referred to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a "governor." He reiterated his proposal for Canada to become the 51st US state.
As per NBC News, Trump initially suggested this idea to Trudeau during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago on November 30, after announcing his intention to impose significant tariffs on Canadian products. Trump claimed that if Canada joined the US, its citizens would benefit from substantial tax cuts of over 60%, businesses would experience growth, and the country would receive unparalleled military protection.
Kevin O'Leary can be seen in ABC's Shark Tank which is currently airing season 16.
