America is not Canada,’ Prime Minister Mark Carney says in rebuke to Trump

Written by

Canada’s new prime minister rejected the idea repeatedly voiced by President Donald Trump that the nation would become the 51st U.S. state.
“We will never, ever, in any way, shape or form, be part of the United States,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said after being sworn in in Ottawa.
Carney’s comments came after weeks of suggestions by Trump that Canada would be absorbed into the United States, and as the U.S. president imposes stiff tariffs on the neighboring country.
