Canada. Donald Trump met Marek Carney

Prime minister Canada met with the president USA in the White House in Washington.

– As you know, there are places in the real estate industry that are never for sale. We are sitting in one right now. Buckingham Palace, which you visited, is also one of them. And after (my) meeting with the owners of Canada during the campaign of the last few months, Canada is not for sale – said Carney, answering the question about the possible joining of his country to the USA.

– It will never be for sale, but the chance lies in partnership and what we can build together – added Prime Minister Canada.

Earlier, Trump said that he did not intend to discuss this issue during Wednesday's conversation, but again mentioned the benefits that the Canadians would receive from such a solution and said that from the perspective of the real estate developer, connected countries, without the separating “artificial line”, would constitute a “beautiful formation”.

– I think that Canada citizens would have great benefits, for example lower taxes, a free army, which, to be honest, we give you anyway, because we protect Canada – said Trump.

He later added, referring to Carney's attention, that Canada is not for sale: “Time will show it.” “Never speak,” he emphasized.

Trump also said again that America does not need Canadian cars and other imported products, he claimed unjustly that the US “subsidizes” Canada with the amount of $ 200 billion and said that nothing could convince him to reduce his duties to Canadian goods.

The American president also talked about the need to renegotiate the USMCA trade agreement, which is expected by the treaty next year. USNCA is a free trade agreement for the USA with Canada and Mexico.

Carney, speaking of duties, tried to alleviate the pronunciation of Trump's words, claiming that customs would not be reduced by single concessions or decisions, but this is “part of the greater discussion.”

– Much greater forces are involved in this and it requires some time and discussion, and that's why we are here – he said.

He also noted that Canada is the largest customer of goods exported from the USA, and 50 percent. Cars in his country are cars produced in the USA.

Washington applied to some of the Canadian goods not subject to USMCA 25 %. duty. The country was also strongly affected by sector tariffs for steel and aluminum as well as cars and their parts. Canada introduced a similar duties on American products in a similar height.

Despite these differences, Trump in warm words spoke about the premiere and Canada, claiming that by winning the elections under the leadership of Carney, Canadian liberals made a “great political return”, perhaps greater than his return to the White House.

He joked, referring to his unpopularity among Canadians, that he himself was the best thing that Carney could have happened. He also admitted that he did not like his predecessor, Justin Trudeauwhich he again called the “governor”.

– Regardless of everything, we will always be Canada's friends. Canada is a very special place for me – declared Trump. He also announced that the US would always defend Canada.
