Canada expresses dismay over King Charles' unexpected choice
Rewritten Article:
Are Canadians less than thrilled with King Charles III's unexpected move before his visit to the Great White North?
At 76, the King seems to have stirred up a tempest with his latest decision, as Prime Minister Mark Carney stated, "Canada was not impressed by the King's invitation to Donald Trump for an unprecedented second state visit to the UK."
With Trump allegedly challenging Canada's sovereignty and suggesting it should become the 51st state of the US, Carney's comments came at a critical juncture.
As a former British colony and a vital member of the Commonwealth, Canada recognizes King Charles as its head of state.
Carney spared no words, telling Sky News, "I think, to be frank, they [Canadians] weren't impressed by that gesture... given the circumstance."
"It was at a time when we were being quite clear about the issues around sovereignty," he added.
Carney, a former Bank of England governor, ran his campaign on resisting Trump's tariff plans and threats to annex Canada. He has repeatedly told the US president that Canada will "never ever" become part of the US.
Looking forward, King Charles III is poised to make history as the first British monarch to open the Canadian parliament in half a century.
Note:It's worth mentioning that the details of King Charles III's invitation to Donald Trump for a second state visit are still under wraps, with the proposed meeting scheduled for September (though details are yet to be clarified). The visit, if confirmed, is likely to generate considerable global attention due to the political personalities and historical significance of state visits. However, specific Canadian reactions to the King's decision remain elusive, with a more accurate picture needing to be pieced together through Canadian media outlets or surveys within the nation.
