'Progress' as PM meets Trump for tariff talks... But President doubles down on '51st State' claim
US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney faced off in the Oval Office yesterday and showed no signs of retreating from their gaping differences in an ongoing trade war that has shattered decades of trust between the two countries.
The two kept it civil, but as for Trump's calls to make Canada the 51st state, Carney insisted his nation was "not for sale" and Trump shot back, "time will tell".
Asked by a reporter if there was anything Carney could tell him to lift his tariffs of as much as 25% on Canada, Trump bluntly said: "No."
The US president added for emphasis, "Just the way it is."
"I'm not sure what he wants to see me about," Trump said. "But I guess he wants to make a deal."
