But there\u2019s something else, you know, we\u2019ve been talking about the border between Canada and the United States. That\u2019s not the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cThe Pentagon is worried and has been for decades about the northern border where China and the USSR are. And we had NORAD decades ago, but China was a nothing burger back then. Now they\u2019re a serious problem, and I think in this kernel of an idea, and yes, maybe it was a joke to start, there is something great here to be done because if you figured out a way to put these two countries together it would be the most\u00a0powerful country on earth, the most powerful military on earth, the most powerful resources adversary anywhere would mess with it. That\u2019s the prize.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Leary added, \u201cThe opportunity is here is combining strengths. You don\u2019t have to sell the country, you don\u2019t have to even merge it, but you can create a union where you put together the things that matter. A common currency, a common passport, free-flowing trade across the border, particularly in energy. And think about what that means.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Follow Pam Key on X <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\/\"><span><i>@pamkeyNEN<\/i><\/span><\/a><i><\/i><\/p>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\"><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2024\/12\/27\/oleary-canada-and-u-s-together-would-be-the-most-powerful-country-on-earth\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday on\u00a0Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cAmericas Newsroom,\u201d Shark Tank star Kevin O\u2019Leary commented on President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s comments about Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States.
