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.
You’ve been misinformed by a hostile media. There have been 5 referendums since 2012 about statehood and they’ve all been in favor of statehood (if not by much), and the subsequent House bills to introduce the measure have all been stalled or killed in committee.
I was unaware of this. Thanks for the info!
