Carney Rejects Trump’s Proposal for Canada as US State

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney firmly refuted US President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Canada should become the 51st US state during a face-to-face meeting at the White House on Tuesday. In a clear and decisive stance, Carney stated unequivocally: ‘Canada is not for sale’. This powerful message came in response to Trump’s provocative remark about merging Canada with the US. The meeting marked the first interaction between the two leaders since Carney’s election victory last month. The former central banker campaigned on an anti-Trump platform and vowed to resist US interference in Canadian affairs.
