Prime Minister Mark Carney told Trump that Canada is “never for sale” after the president once again mused about the US taking over Canada during a high-stakes White House meeting on the future of the Canada-US relationship.
Carney travelled to Washington on Monday, his first foreign trip since winning a minority Liberal government in last week’s federal election, for what the prime minister has said will be the first in a series of talks on tariffs, military cooperation and other issues.
“This is a bigger discussion,” Carney told reporters in the Oval Office. “There are much bigger forces involved, and this will take some time and some discussions. And that’s why we’re here, to have those discussions.”
