Trump downplays Canada’s liberal lean from Oval Office, calls border an 'artificial line'

President Donald Trump called the U.S.-Canada border an "artificial line" while also declining to say whether Canada would lean right or left if it were to become a state. 

Trump's Friday comments were made during a press conference in the Oval Office amid controversy over the president speaking of Canada as the "51st state."

Fox News' Peter Doocy asked the president whether he would be "concerned" about whether Canada "would be a very, very blue state."
