The new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney assured Tuesday that his country would not be “never for sale“, during his meeting at the White House with Donald Trump who, on the contrary, sees the possibility of a”wonderful wedding“If the United States annexed its northern neighbor.
For their first face-to-face, the tension was palpable between the two leaders despite the smiles displayed. Mark Carney was elected a week ago on the promise to face the American president, whose threats are anxious about Canadians. But he must also avoid pointing the American president if he wants to tear him off a commercial compromise.
Donald Trump, however, repeated that he would not return to his decisions concerning customs duties, saying that nothing could bring him, even after discussion with the Canadian Prime Minister, to go back. “”That’s how it“He said.
-The American president has already imposed customs duties on Canadian steel and aluminum, in particular, and threatens his northern neighbor with generalized customs taxes of 25%. “”Canada is a country that should be able to manage on the economy alone, “said Donald Trump.” There is no reason why we subsiden Canada.“
According to Mark Carne, the old relationship between the two countries based on “an increasing integration “is” finished“, and it’s about how the two countries”will cooperate in the future“.
Last week, Donald Trump qualified the new Canadian government chief “very friendly man“, An incomparably more tone leads than that reserved for former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for whom the republican billionaire has a fierce antipathy.
