president Donald Trump Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney meets on Tuesday at the White House for high risk conversations amid a trade war of tariffs between neighbors and allies.
The two leaders received each other outside the White House and shook hands before going inside to attend a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office.
There, they quickly participated in Trump’s repeated suggestions that Canada has become part of the United States as “State 51”.
“Well, I still think that,” Trump told reporters.

Carney retreated, “As you know from real estate, there are some places that are not for sale. Canada is not for sale, and it will never be for sale.”
The Prime Minister added: “But the opportunity to partnership, and what we can build together. We have done so in the past.”
Trump thought, “Never say.”
“The time will say,” Trump said. “It is just time. But I never say,” Trump said. “I had a lot of things that were not implemented, and they ended up being executed and implemented in a very friendly manner.”
Before their meeting, Trump in Canada criticized the conservative social media platform, and the United States wrote that it does not need “anything” in Canada in terms of trade.
“We do not need their cars, we do not need their energy, nor do we need their wood, and we do not need anything they have, unlike their friendship, which we hope to keep always. On the other hand, they need everything from us! The Prime Minister will soon arrive and this is probably, most likely, my only result.”
Carney’s visit will start from his victory in the elections to replace Justin Trudeau, who was partially, through his anti -Trump’s anti -Trip platform.
After winning, Carney warned the Canadians: “Trump is trying to break us so that America can take us. This will never happen, this will never happen.”
Meanwhile, Trump has assumed an unimaginable goal to Canada since he returned to his post in January. He threatened to seize Canada and slap with highly slope definitions, which is one of USThe largest commercial partners.
Trump said on Monday that he was “not sure” from what the Prime Minister wanted to discuss, but added that Canada “wants to make a deal”, while Carney said on Friday that they would focus on “commercial pressure and economic and security relations in the broader future.”
“I am not pretending that these discussions will be easy – it will not go in a straight line,” Carney said last week. “You will be up and down, winding along the way. But as I said in my notes, I will fight for the best possible deal for Canada. I will only accept what is in the interest of the Canadians, and I will take a long time to achieve this.”
The historical friendly relationship between the United States and Canada is now on the brink of the abyss. Trump and Carney’s face to face in the Oval Office may make progress in a tariff or renewing the relationship further.
One of Carney’s feature compared to his predecessor in this meeting is his lack of history with Trump. Trudeau left his position with a bruising relationship with the president, who was repeatedly and repeatedly “ruler” instead of the Prime Minister. The two leaders were unable to hold a tariff deal.
The 25 % customs tariffs imposed by Trump are still valid for Canadian commodities incompatible with the United States, Mexico and Cananga (or USMCA) agreement in addition to a 10 % tariff on the import of Canadian oil and 25 % tariffs on all cars, auto, steel and aluminum parts.
Canadian retaliatory measures include a 25 % tariff for vehicles imported by the United States not compatible with USMCA. In March, Canada imposed a $ 21 billion retaliatory tariff on elements such as American and whiskey juice, peanut butter, coffee, hardware, shoes, cosmetics, motorcycles and some paper products.
