TORONTO (AP) Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday that he will visit U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday. The high-stakes meeting comes as Trump continues his trade war and annexation threats.
Carneys Liberal Party scored a stunning comeback victory in a vote widely seen as a rebuke of Trump, whose trade war and attacks on Canadian sovereignty outraged voters.
We are meeting as heads of our government, Carney said. I am not pretending those discussions will be easy.
In his first comments since election night, Carney said that Canadians elected a new government to stand up to Trump and build a strong economy.
Carney also said that King Charles III will deliver a speech outlining the Canadian governments priorities on May 27, when Parliament resumes. Charles is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
Queen Elizabeth II delivered the speech twice, in 1957 and 1977.
That clearly underscores the sovereignty of our country, Carney said.
Carney has emphasized Canadas founding nations, the United Kingdom and France, since becoming prime minister after the resignation of Justin Trudeau. Carney repeated that the old relationship with the U.S. based on steadily increasing integration is over.

Seriously, Canada has a policy that prevents convicted felons from being allowed into Canada. Trump has 37 convictions...so that really stops him cold at the border! He technically has to send a representative to the G7 summit...someone with a clean slate. Within the Republican Party...that leaves slim pickins! God Bless and keep him far away from us!!!

(25,033 posts)3. Time for F47 to show PM Carney some of the kompromat
It will be a Very Putin visit, from which Mr. Carney will emerge positioned to oppose F47 as appearances require but also ready to roll over and cut deals on special occasions.
Just my opinion, naturally
