Carney tells Trump: Canada is not for sale
The Guardian
|May 07, 2025
Donald Trump said yesterday he wanted "friendship" with Canada after his meeting with the country's newly elected prime minister, Mark Carney, who used the gathering to dismiss any prospect of his country becoming the 51st US state.
Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump praised Carney - whose Liberal party won the federal election last week - for one of the "greatest political comebacks of all time", and described the prime minister's visit as an honour for the White House.
The amicable tone of the meeting contrasted with Trump's recent hostile rhetoric as he launched a trade war against his northern neighbour, belittled Carney's predecessor Justin Trudeau and made repeated threats to crush Canada's economy with the aim of annexing it.
Carney returned the praise, telling Trump he was a "transformational president" with a strong focus on the economy. But he rejected any idea that Canada might accede to joining the US as the 51st state.
"As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale," Carney told Trump.
"That's true," said Trump.
"Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign... it's not for sale," said Carney.
