Kevin O'Leary Backs Trump's Proposal for U.S.-Canada Economic Union

The 'Shark Tank' star claims half of Canadians are open to exploring a merger with the U.S., while critics dismiss the idea as unrealistic.

Kevin O'Leary expressed support for President-elect Donald Trump's suggestion to merge the U.S. and Canadian economies, calling it a 'massive opportunity.'
O'Leary claims that at least half of Canadians are interested in the idea, though polls suggest widespread opposition to full annexation.
Trump's proposal includes reducing Canadian taxes by 60%, creating a common currency, and strengthening military protection for Canada.
Critics, including Canadian officials and commentators, have dismissed the concept as unserious and politically infeasible, with some calling it a promotional stunt.
O'Leary plans to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to discuss the idea, emphasizing an economic union rather than outright statehood.
