Trump wants these countries to become the 51st state — but not D.C.
President Donald Trump has a history of saying he wants other countries to become the U.S.’s 51st state — but has previously said he is an “absolute no” on statehood for Puerto Rico, and has called D.C. statehood “ridiculous.”
Trump has also pushed to acquire the Danish autonomous territory of Greenland and has expressed interest in “taking Cuba in some form.”
