President Donald Trump is continuing to suggest that Canada could divest itself of its own sovereignty and join the United States as the 51st American state over the continued objections of Canada’s new prime minister, Mark Carney.
Carney, whose Liberal Party cruised to a victory over the rival Conservatives in last month’s parliamentary elections in part thanks to widespread disgust at Trump’s suggestion that Canada could be annexed, as well as the trade war the U.S. president started against the longtime American ally, visited the Oval Office on Tuesday for his first-ever meeting with his U.S. counterpart.
