Former President Trump questions the value of U.S.-Canada economic relations ahead of his meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney, claiming America subsidizes Canada by $200 billion annually and provides unmatched military support — while asserting the U.S. needs nothing from its northern neighbor but friendship.
Carney to Trump: 'Canada Is Not for Sale' — Firm Stand on Sovereignty Sparks Viral Moment
Washington, D.C. — In a tense and headline-grabbing exchange at the White House today, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney firmly rebuffed any notion of American acquisition, declaring before President Donald Trump that "Canada is not for sale — and never will be."
The statement came in response to Trump’s long-standing suggestion that Canada benefits disproportionately from U.S. subsidies, protection, and trade access. During their bilateral meeting, Trump quipped, “Never say never,” to which Carney, visibly composed but resolute, replied, “I’ve spoken with the people of Canada over the course of this campaign and the past months — and it’s not for sale, won’t be for sale, ever.”
The moment quickly went viral online, with critics calling it another diplomatic embarrassment for Trump, while supporters praised him for “telling it like it is.” The leaders were meeting to discuss cross-border trade, energy cooperation, and NATO commitments amid growing tensions over tariffs and defense spending.
Carney’s assertive defense of Canadian sovereignty is being praised at home, where many see his calm but unwavering tone as a defining moment in his early leadership. Political analysts say it also draws a sharp contrast between Carney’s diplomacy and Trump’s brashness — a dynamic likely to shape North American relations moving forward.
