Joe Rogan supports Greenland joining the U.S. instead

Joe Rogan, a popular podcaster, recently shared his views on Canada and the idea of it becoming the 51st state of the United States. During an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," he expressed that he does not support this idea but does have a playful suggestion about Greenland. Rogan discussed the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada. He believes that the two countries should work towards better relations instead of being in conflict. He stated, “We have to become friends with Canada again. This is so ridiculous,” referring to the trade war that has caused friction. While Rogan dismissed the notion of Canadian statehood, he humorously suggested that Greenland could be a better choice due to its natural resources and geographical position. He commented on its potential accessibility for the U.S. and mentioned the environmental aspect of warming related to global changes. In addition to this, Rogan criticized what he called Canada's extreme "wokeness" and encouraged Canadians to reconnect with the U.S. He also made light of criticisms from some Americans regarding the financial support the U.S. gives to Canada. The discussion comes amid rising tensions between the countries, with President Trump threatening heavy tariffs on Canadian goods. These tariffs are set to begin on April 2, 2025, as the two nations continue to navigate their complicated trade relationship.
