During his Fox News interview, Trump was asked about his previous comments that he wants to make Canada a 51st state and join the US, APA reports.
"I think Canada would be much better off being a 51st state because we lose $200bn a year with Canada, and I'm not going to let that happen," he says.
A senior official later clarified to CNN the $200bn (£161bn) was comprised of US defence spending that Canada benefits from, and the rest is from the trade US-Canada trade deficit.
"If they're a 51st state, I don't mind doing it," Trump adds.
