Carney's first visit to the White House since his election comes as the U.S.-Canada trade relationship has been upended as a result of Trump's tariffs.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told Donald Trump on Tuesday that his country will never be for sale, shutting down the U.S. president’s repeated calls to make Canada the 51st state.

“There are some places that are never for sale,” Carney said in the Oval Office.

Canada is “not for sale” and “won’t be for sale ever,” the prime minister said.

Trump replied: “Never say never.”

    Very interesting thank you. Never would it the wished for a banker as prime minister. But it seems hell just froze over with USA taking a big shit on Canada by openly declaring economic war intending to annexe. But once at war you elect a General … He won me over on the Colbert report when talking about the 2008 crisis. He didn’t let Canadian Banks in on the sub par market because he didn’t understand it. Probably because it doesn’t make any sense.
