Nearly a fifth of Americans now ‘prefer’ that Canada become a U.S. state or territory, poll suggests

17 per cent of Americans support Canada becoming either a territory or the 51st State of the U.S. — but two-thirds stand by its sovereignty, a new poll suggests.

The findings come amid U.S. President Donald Trump‘s ambitions to seize Greenland, a self-governing territory of fellow NATO member Denmark, after capturing former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and toppling his government earlier this month.

But according to the survey by public opinion pollster Research Co., most respondents don’t want the U.S. to take over Greenland. Nor do they want Panama, Cuba or Mexico under American control.
