Atlantic staff writer Ashley Parker says her recent interview with Trump in the Oval Office showed the U.S. president isn't 'fervently' pursuing taking over Canada.
U.S. President Donald Trump says it is 'highly unlikely' the United States would ever use military force to annex Canada, though he maintains he will continue to push to make Canada the 51st state.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly vowed to secure U.S. control of Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, while threatening to make Canada the 51st state.
