Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has hit back at US President Donald Trump after claiming it is “much better for Canada” to become a part of America and be the 51st state of the nation.
Hitting back at the US leader, Carney affirmed that there are some places that are “never for sale”, comparing his nation to Buckingham Palace and the White House – where the tense interaction took place.
As the two leaders sat down for talks in Washington, Trump claimed that the move would be “great for Canadians” and offer residents “huge tax cuts”.
Asked by the press if Trump would still consider making Canada the 51st state of America, Trump quipped that he “still believes” in the deal, but it takes “two to tango”.
