Summary

Is President-elect Donald Trump serious about making Canada America’s 51st state? Canadians aren’t on board with that idea, but could even raising the issue open the door to significant changes in our relationship with our neighbors to the north? Earlier this week, Shark Tank star and Canadian-born Businessman Kevin O’Leary talked about the pressure Trump has been putting on Canada. Unlike many of his countrymen, ‘Mr. Wonderful’ is enticed by Trump’s talk of having his birth nation become part of the US and explains why he’d like to see significant changes to America and Canada’s agreements when it comes to immigration, currency, and commerce, O’Leary also weighed in on his desire to help purchase TikTok —and how he and some investors wrote to the Supreme Court as the social media platform’s owners went to the high court Friday to block a ban on the app that could be imposed on January 19th if they do not cut ties with China. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.   Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, allowing you to hear more of his unique takes on Canada, TikTok, and the incoming Trump administration, Learn more about your ad choices.
