"Nope, not happening!" Carney slams Trump's crazy idea: "Canada ain't up for grabs"
Trump faces rejection from Carney: "Canada won't be bought"
Scoop 'em if you can, but good luck Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Email Print Copy link Ever since Trump took residence in the White House, the US President has had his eyes on Canada, dreaming big to make it the 51st state. Canadians ain't having it, including the fresh-faced Prime Minister Carney, who ain't afraid to dish it out to Trump.
During a heated White House showdown, ol' Trumpy invited the new Canadian PM Mark Carney to take a seat and invited him to a real estate party, suggesting that Canada could be the 51st star on the American flag.
Carney ain't havin' it, slamming Trump with a "Canada ain't up for grabs" attitude. Trump fired back with a "nope, nope, nope, but time will tell" line, trying to keep the crazy talk alive.
The US Prez also spouted off about how he wants a fresh trade deal with Canada, claiming that his Truth Social platform had NSFW accusations towards Canada, receiving billions in annual subsidies from the US. But let's be real, folks, the US trade deficit with Canada was only around $63 billion last year.

According to Trump, the US don't need no cars, energy, or wood from Canada, and the only thing we need from them is "friendship." Conversely, Canada needs "everything" from the US.

Carney's Liberal Party won the Canadian parliamentary election last week with a majority. He called out the US for betrayal, urging his country to stand united against their neighbor.
Relations between the neighboring countries have taken a dive since Trump moved in back in 2017. Trump has been known to flirt with the idea of making Canada the 51st state and has resorted to aggressive trade tactics against its northern neighbor.
