Republican Rep. Chuck Kopp of Alaska, which shares a border with the Yukon and is separated from the contiguous U.S. by Canada, says the state doesn’t support the president’s trade war and annexation bid against Canada.
He has proposed a joint resolution in the state legislature that would affirm Canada’s sovereignty and recognize the enduring, centuries-old ties between Alaska and Canada.
Also economically it’s beneficial for Alaska to be a unique US state in terms of tourism and resource offerings. If Canada joined the US, Alaska loses a big aspect of their unique identity to BC/Yukon/NT.
No, let me stop you right there.
