It would be way too biased to say that the meeting between the two leaders was bad. That was just this week when Donald Trump invited Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, to come to the White House.
In all honesty, this shouldn’t be a big surprise at all, given how tense things are between the two countries right now.
The 47th President of the United States has told Canada that the only way to escape these tariffs is for Canada to join the United States as the 51st state. During this time, Trump has been adamant about putting taxes on many countries worldwide.
It doesn’t matter that 25% taxes have been put in place; the Canadian government is still determined to keep Canada from becoming another US state.
In a meeting with President Trump on May 6, Mark Carney, who took over as prime minister, said that his country is “never [going to be] for sale.” At the same time, Justin Trudeau, who was prime minister before, said that it would never “happen.”
Carney said, “As you know from the field of real estate, there are some places that are never for sale,” when he compared Canada to Buckingham Palace in the UK or the Oval Office in the US. It has been agreed that it will not be sold after talking with the owners of Canada during the campaign that has been going on for a few months. This item will never be for sale.
Carney seemed to be checking with President Trump about what he said about the friendship with the neighbor while they were talking in the Oval Office.
When Trump said, “We don’t do much business with Canada,” Carney responded sharply.
Carney says, “we are the largest customer of all goods from the United States.”
There are good things about the changes that have been made, and our auto business is great. Five hundred percent of cars from Canada come from the United States. This is not true anywhere else in the world.
At the very least, Carney clarified that Canada becoming the 51st state is not even remotely likely. This did not stop Trump from continuing his study, though.
“Can give ourselves far more than any foreign government can ever take away,” Carney said, pointing to the fact that Canadians are “masters in our own home.”
Trump said, “Never say never,” and added, “I’ve had many, many things that I thought were impossible that turned out to be possible.”
Body language expert Beth Dawson looked at what happened on the steps of the White House and cam.e up with a report. She talked about how the Canadian Prime Minister seemed “aggressive,” “submissive,” and “afraid.”
The elbow touch, on the other hand, shows that he wants to connect with you on equal terms, as Dawson described further. The way he looks at you makes you think he is motivated.
“Carney is not passive, but he is also careful not to come across as overly forceful and he does seem slightly intimidated.”
