During a press conference following his meeting with President Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney humorously addressed questions about whether Canada might become part of the U.S., a notion Trump has floated. While Trump expressed a vague interest in the idea of erasing borders, Carney firmly stated that Canada's sovereignty is not negotiable. He emphasized the importance of focusing on constructive diplomatic relationships and economic partnerships, reaffirming that discussions should move forward rather than dwell on the past.
Well, thank you, I guess, for your question. I'm glad that you couldn't tell what was going through my mind, Carney replied with a smile.
The President has made known his wish about that issue for some time. I've been careful always to distinguish between wish and reality.
I was clear there. Canada is not for sale, it never will be for sale, Carney replied, adding: Some things are never for sale and he agreed with that.
I look forward not back and I think we established a good basis today.
