Canada’s new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, firmly stated that the country will "never, in any shape or form, be part of the US" in his first speech. His remarks respond to U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that Canada could become the 51st state. Carney, facing an escalating trade dispute with the U.S., emphasized Canada’s sovereignty, stating the nation "expects respect." He also announced plans to visit France and the UK but has no immediate plans to meet Trump. Carney joked that Canadians would vote before November, with an election required before October.
