Kevin O’Leary möchte mit Donald Trump über die „Zusammenlegung“ der Volkswirtschaften Kanadas und der USA verhandeln

Television personality Kevin O’Leary says he wants to “start the narrative” with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to negotiate a deal that would merge the economies of Canada and the U.S. O’Leary claimed on Twitter that “Canadians over the holidays have been talking about this.” The Florida-based entrepreneur appeared on Fox Business weeks after Trump’s quip that Canada should become the 51st state of the U.S. and taunting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by calling him a “governor.” O’Leary stated that he likes this idea and that he plans to go to Mar-a-Lago to discuss the possibilities for sharing resources, using a common currency, creating a new EU-like passport, and figuring out taxes across the board. However, an expert cautions that the information about a unified economy could be misrepresented, as O’Leary is not calling for America and Canada to become one country, but rather proposing a customs union similar to the European Union, where France is a member and uses the Euro, but there are no customs duties on goods crossing national borders.
