Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has firmly stated that his country is "not for sale" and "never will be sold", responding to the words of US President Donald Trump during a meeting at the White House on May 6.
This is reported by Reuters.
Donald Trump and Mark Carney met for the first time since Carney's party won the election and he became the head of Canada.
Trump jokingly hinted at the idea of "uniting" the two countries, noting that he did not plan to discuss "buying" Canada unless "nobody wants to bring it up". He said that the potential "great union" could bring enormous benefits to both countries, and called the border between the United States and Canada "an artificial line".
Carney responded immediately to these words: "Canada is not for sale and will never be sold," he assured.
To this, Donald Trump replied with a smile: "Never say never."
As we will recall, earlier, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump a "direct attack" on his country and that the trade war was hurting Americans, noting that American consumer confidence was at a multi-year low.
