Jesse Watters' remarks come as President-elect Trump suggests using economic force to incorporate Canada as the '51st State.'

  • Fox News host Jesse Watters told Ontario Premier Doug Ford that Canadians should view U.S. annexation as a 'privilege' during a televised exchange.
  • Watters argued that American citizenship is highly sought after globally, while criticizing Canada's reluctance to consider integration with the United States.
