Carney says U.S. must stop 'disrespectful' comments before trade talks take place

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 Mar, 2025 03:19 PM
  • Carney says U.S. must stop 'disrespectful' comments before trade talks take place

Prime Minister Mark Carney says United States President Donald Trump will have to stop his "disrespectful" comments about Canada before any bilateral conversations take place.

Carney says Canada wants to have a "more comprehensive discussion" with the Trump administration about the overall commercial and security relationship.

But he says until Trump stops talking about annexing Canada that conversation isn't going to happen.

The prime minister made the remarks in London, on the second part of a one-day trip to France and the U.K., which took place just days after he took office.

His European visit comes as Trump has instigated a trade war between the two countries and as he has repeatedly threatened to make Canada the "51st state."

Carney has used the trip to push for closer trade and security ties with Europe.

Province spent more promoting cost-savings than advertising vaccines, documents show
The Manitoba government has spent or budgeted more than $340,000 for advertising campaigns promoting its fuel tax and electricity savings — more than it spent last year on ads to persuade people to get vaccinated against the flu and COVID-19, suggest government documents. And with flu numbers continuing to rise this winter, and vaccination rates trending lower, there are calls for more spending on a vaccination campaign.
