During a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Trump expressed vague desires in U.S.-Canada trade negotiations, rejecting Canadian imports like cars, steel, and aluminum while asserting a preference for U.S. manufacturing. Carney humorously rebuffed Trump's suggestion of Canada's annexation as the 51st state, emphasizing national sovereignty. CNN's Maggie Haberman noted Trump's ambiguous objectives, suggesting his primary aim is to achieve a semblance of success rather than a concrete trade deal. Trump's broader strategy has involved imposing tariffs on numerous imports, escalating trade tensions with several nations.
During their meeting, Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected Trump's idea that Canada would become the 51st U.S. state, saying, "As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale."
Haberman replied: No. And I'm not sure that it's clear to him what kind of actual, specific outcome he's looking for, other than one where the U.S. can say we're on top and somebody else is not.
