Is 52 a typo or did he really say that? The US has 50 states, so why not 51? | ||

I suspect that the implication in context was that the 51st state would be Greenland. Which doesn't really help make this less of a diplomatic faux pas. | ||

Probably a reference to the "joke" that Canada would soon become the 51st state | ||

Maybe his views are more heterodox and he was counting Puerto Rico as 51st! (sarcasm, in case this isn't clear) | ||
