During a meeting with President Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that Canada will remain strong and not for sale, asserting the importance of their partnership. Trump had previously suggested the possibility of Canada becoming the 51st state, which Carney rebuffed with references to real estate, highlighting that some entities, like Canada, are not for sale. Despite discussions around potential tariffs and trade agreements, Trump expressed resistance to immediate concessions, reinforcing the complexities of US-Canada relations under the present administration.
As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale, Carney told Trump in the Oval Office as reporters looked on.
We're sitting in one right now... it's not for sale and won't be for sale ever. But the opportunity is the partnership and what we can build together.
When asked if Carney could persuade him to lift tariffs on Canadian goods, Trump said, 'No,' indicating a firm stance on trade issues.
Trump's musings about Canada becoming the 51st state were met with a strong rebuttal from Carney, emphasizing Canada's independence and partnership.
