Should be
He thinks the territory of the United States should be 2x its size in the near future.
What does "should" mean in this case? Does it mean "correctness", or "expected"?
Top answer
It is likely to be "expected". I think you may also echange "should be" for "is supposed to be" instead, without loss of meaning.
