Canada 'not for sale,' Carney tells Trump as they meet DW 05/06/2025
Briefly

During a recent meeting at the White House, US President Donald Trump praised Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney, referring to him as "a very talented person, a very good person." Despite his amiable remarks, tensions surfaced as Trump previously communicated on social media that the US does not need Canada, emphasizing a substantial trade deficit. The discussion also touched on Canada's potential affiliation with the US, which Carney firmly rejected, stating that Canada is not for sale. Their exchanges hinted at a complex relationship marked by both cooperation and disagreement.
"It would really be a wonderful marriage," Trump said during the meeting, highlighting what he sees as the potential benefits of a closer relationship between the two nations.
Carney asserted Canada "won't be for sale, it won't be for sale, ever," making it clear that Canada is not open to becoming part of the United States.
