The head of the Canadian Foreign Ministry Melanie Joly said that the country will never join the United States. This was reported by the Financial Times (FT) on January 31.

The publication noted that during Joly's meeting with U.S. officials in Washington, the topic of Canada joining the United States was not raised.

"We can be really good friends, best friends, but we will never be a state or a colony," the Canadian foreign minister emphasized.

Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump announced plans to impose 25% duties on imports of goods from Canada and Mexico from February 1, but the tariffs may increase.

Before that, the American leader called Canada a country dependent on the States and said it could not be a separate state. He promised Canada "serious" tax breaks and no trade duties if it agreed to become America's 51st state.

In December 2024, Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said the Canadian government was prepared to defend national interests over Trump's statements that the country could become an "American state."
