Joe Rogan has made it clear he’s against the idea of Canada becoming the 51st state of the United States. However, the popular podcaster believes there’s another piece of land more suitable for potential inclusion – Greenland.
Speaking to comedian Mark Kosta on the March 14 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan shared his thoughts on the ongoing trade disputes between the U.S. and Canada, which have escalated under President Donald Trump‘s administration.
Rogan, who has shown strong support for Trump and hosted him on the podcast before the 2024 election, voiced his frustration over the strained relationship between the two countries.
“I just want America and Canada to get along. I think it’s ridiculous,” Rogan said while laughing. He then added, “We have to become friends with Canada again. This is so ridiculous. This is the dumbest f**king feud.”
Rogan’s interest in Greenland
Although Rogan is against the idea of adding Canada as a U.S. state, he admitted that it would “be fun” if Canada did become the 51st star on the American flag. However, he quickly shifted focus to Greenland, suggesting it would be a more practical acquisition.
“I think Greenland is more accessible. Could probably buy that. If we want a 51st state, it’s Greenland,” Rogan told Kosta, referencing the idea that Greenland‘s natural resources, particularly its rare earth minerals, would be valuable for the United States.
He further joked, “Plus, if global warming is real, because of all the digging and oil and all that s-t, you know, would be good to have a cold spot to eventually warm up.”
Rogan’s thoughts on Canada and Trump’s tariff battle
Despite his endorsement of Canadian independence, Rogan criticized what he referred to as Canada’s overzealous political correctness.
“Canada’s just on another level with their wokeness,” he said, before looking directly at the camera and adding, “Come back to us, Canada. Come back to us.”
Rogan also addressed the economic tensions between the U.S. and Canada, laughing at Americans who claim the United States is “subsidizing Canada.”
Trump, meanwhile, has frequently pushed the idea of unification, particularly during a public dispute where he accused Canada of taking advantage of the U.S.
“Canada is a Tariff abuser, and always has been, but the United States is not going to be subsidizing Canada any longer,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He continued, “We don’t need your Cars, we don’t need your Lumber, we don’t need your Energy, and very soon, you will find that out.”
The tariffs Trump mentioned are expected to take effect on April 2, heightening tensions between the neighboring countries.
While Rogan’s remarks are lighthearted, his conversation about Greenland and U.S. expansion adds an interesting twist to the ongoing discussions surrounding America’s international relations.
