"It's Not for Sale": Canada's Mark Carney Rejects Trump's Annexation Threat
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with President Trump at the Oval
Office Tuesday, where he rejected Trump's call to annex Canada as the
"51st state."

Prime Minister Mark Carney: "And having met with the owners of Canada
over the course of the campaign last several months, it's not for sale,
won't be for sale, ever."

In response to Carney's remarks, Trump said, "Never say never," while
Carney mouthed the words "never, never, never." Trump also said during
Tuesday's Oval Office meeting that nothing Carney could say would
persuade him to lift U.S. tariffs on Canada.
