    No, not yet. 

    1. USA has 50 states, Puerto Rico is not at that list.

    2. Puerto Rico is an US territory, not a state.

    2A. PR is an organized territory (with own local government) and

    2B. PR is a non incorporated territory (not legally speaking a part of the US).

    3. Puerto Rico may become the 51st US state (if Washington DC dont manage to get statehood first).
