US President Donald Trump's suggestion that Canada should become the 51st state of the United States has been met with defiance from Canadians.

Adam Chapnick, a professor at the Canadian Forces College, a school for military officers, said that Trump's remarks have led to a heightened level of national unity.

"This began as a bit of a joke and then evolved into being more of a troll," Chapnick told China Daily. "While the president might genuinely think that Canada and Canadians would fare better as the 51st state, without a direct US military attack on Canada, there is no likelihood whatsoever of this happening."
