Trump Will Not Add Canada Greenland or Panama to U.S. Territory Carney Says

Trump’s territorial plans: Mark Carney, Canada’s newly elected Prime Minister, has strongly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s territorial expansion plans, calling them unrealistic and unattainable. Carney, in a late Monday interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation, emphasized that while Trump’s expansionist views exist, they will not materialize with Canada or any other country.

Trump’s Expansionist Vision

Carney’s remarks come in response to Trump’s controversial comments about turning Canada into the 51st U.S. state, as well as his broader territorial ambitions that have included nations like Panama and Greenland. Carney reaffirmed that such notions will not be entertained, asserting the importance of maintaining Canada’s sovereignty.

Carney’s Liberal Party Victory

Carney’s Liberal Party secured the most seats in Monday’s federal election, in part due to widespread public resistance to Trump’s trade tariffs and his expansionist rhetoric. As the new Prime Minister prepares for talks with the U.S. administration, he emphasized that a future U.S.-Canada economic and security agreement will be based on Canada’s terms.

A New U.S.-Canada Partnership

“This will be a fundamentally different agreement than previous ones,” Carney explained, emphasizing that the terms of the partnership will reflect Canadian priorities. “There is room for mutual benefit, but it must be on our conditions, not theirs.”

Trump’s Optimistic Response

President Trump responded with optimism to Carney’s comments, revealing that he had spoken with Carney the previous day. Trump described the Canadian leader as “a very nice gentleman” and expressed his eagerness to “make a deal,” which resulted in a slight rise in the Canadian dollar.

Carney’s Trade Agenda

Carney shared his optimism for forging new international alliances, particularly in defense. He hinted at a potential free trade agreement with the United Kingdom. Previous negotiations stalled due to disagreements over issues like dairy products.

Canada’s Strategic Position

As Carney continues to navigate international trade relationships, he remains focused on deepening ties with nations that share similar values. The potential for a post-Brexit UK-Canada trade agreement is one such area where Carney sees promising opportunities for collaboration.
