President Donald Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House amid ongoing trade tensions and diplomatic disagreements. Trump reiterated his desire to make Canada the 51st U.S. state, a proposal firmly rejected by Carney who stated Canada is 'not for sale.' The meeting revealed stark differences, with Trump imposing tariffs of up to 25% on Canadian steel and aluminum, criticizing Canada's trade practices, and inflaming national pride. Carney emphasized that Canada would not be for sale and highlighted the importance of partnership and negotiations, acknowledging the broader economic and security issues involved. Trump’s provocative comments, including social media posts claiming the U.S. didn't need anything from Canada, and his persistent call for Canada to become a state, have strained relations. Despite this, Carney described their discussions as 'wide-ranging' and 'constructive,' and confirmed plans to meet again at the G7 summit in June. Trump also discussed other foreign policy issues, including tensions with Iran, Russia, Ukraine, and China, and expressed skepticism about a US-China trade deal, emphasizing de-escalation. The meeting occurred against a backdrop of Canada's recent political comeback driven by outrage over tariffs and attacks on sovereignty. Trump’s tariffs have impacted critical sectors, including auto manufacturing and energy, with Canada being a vital trading partner—its goods crossing the border daily worth billions, including a significant portion of U.S. oil and electricity imports. Additionally, Trump’s administration continues to press on immigration enforcement, with notices served to restaurants in Washington, D.C., seeking legal work documentation. The president also announced appointments for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, including Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, as a key figure in the preparations. Overall, the interactions underscore the complex, often contentious, yet diplomatically ongoing relationship between the U.S. and Canada, with both leaders emphasizing partnership despite disagreements over trade policies, national security, and sovereignty.
