Mark Carney speaks out about Trump’s 51st state ‘threat’ in major interview
In his first major interview since winning last month’s election, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has spoken with Sky News UK.
Mr Carney claims US President Donald Trump’s suggestion of Canada becoming the 51st state of America was a threat to the country’s sovereignty.
“All issues around Canadian sovereignty have been accentuated by the President. So no, it’s not coincidental,” Mr Carney said.
Mr Carney said Canadians “weren’t impressed” by an invitation to President Trump for an unprecedented second UK state visit.
