Carney's first visit to the White House since his election comes as the U.S.-Canada trade relationship has been upended as a result of Trump's tariffs.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told Donald Trump on Tuesday that his country will never be for sale, shutting down the U.S. president’s repeated calls to make Canada the 51st state.

“There are some places that are never for sale,” Carney said in the Oval Office.

Canada is “not for sale” and “won’t be for sale ever,” the prime minister said.

Trump replied: “Never say never.”

    I’d love to be locked in a room with Trump for an hour, he’d survive but I’d tell the world afterwards what his end goal was and every secret he had.

      Serious question: Do you think anybody would listen? There have been multiple former members of the White House staff and Cabinet you have come out with scathing tell-alls. Then there are the multiple communications leaks. Then outright just stating that they are going to do the thing.

      I’m pretty sure we are well past the point of revealing his true end goals and ending him right there

        Look man. If my favorite football team sucks and makes shitty deals for players and has a losing record, I’m still going over the top saying they’re gonna beat our main rivals and are the best ever. Hell I don’t even need to understand why they suck or what they could even do to get better. They’re my team! I can’t let you talk shit about them.

      He doesn’t have any secrets, he’s literally telling everyone exactly what he intends to do. People haven’t been listening.
