The interview with Donald Trump was “very constructive”. The relationship between Canada and the United States is complex but has expressed confidence on the possibility of finding a commercial agreement. “There will be ups and downs,” he said in a press conference, after the comparison with Donald Trump, Mark Carney who told Trump to “stop calling Canada the 51st American state”.
Carney is an “extraordinary man” and was an “excellent meeting”, said Donald Trump after his face to face with the Canadian premier.
Between the two before the handshake, the official picket, the congratulations for a “great victory”. The first face-to-face between Donald Trump and Mark Carney, who only six weeks ago was elected Premier of Canada pulled by an anti-tour platform, has been apparently well, considering the premises.
No direct confrontation such as that now moved on to the history of the oval study with Volodymyr Zelenskyto which the president mentioned in the bilateral with the Canadian. But not even great steps forward on the main dossiers who divide the two neighbors right now: the American duties and aims on Ottawa. “We are not on sale and we will never be,” Carryy immediately clarified by using a metaphor in the real estate sector, dear to The Donald who built his luck on Real Estate. “As you know, some places cannot be bought,” said the premier. The Tycoon has instead replied “never say never”, insisting on the alleged advantages for Canada if it became the 51st American state throughout the interview in front of the fireplace off, given the mild temperatures of Washington. “It would be a wonderful wedding, for the Canadians it would be a huge advantage of the United States”.
The Commander in Chief then ensured that he “wanting to be a friend of Canada, beyond everything. It is a special place “and took the opportunity to launch a arrow to the predecessor of Carney, Justin Trudeau, with whom the relationships were degenerated. “I called him governor, perhaps this did not help him,” Trump ironized who, instead, congratulated the premier for his “great return, almost as much as mine”. On the other and perhaps more pressing question, that of rates, at least officially no progress has been made. Just before receiving the premier to the White House, the president had launched a very hard attack against the neighbor on Truth.
“I can’t wait to meet the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carryy, and I want to work with him so much, but I can’t understand a simple truth: why subsidize Canada with 200 billion dollars a year, as well as providing for free military protection and many other things? – He thundered the tycoon – We don’t need their cars, their energy, we don’t need their timber, we don’t need anything they have, apart from their friendship, which we hope to always keep. They, on the other hand, need everything from us! ». Words of fire, repeated even during the face to face. “We don’t do many business with Canada, they do many business with us,” said the president by quoting the “top quality” military equipment that the Canadians buy from the USA. And when a reporter asked if There was something that Carney can say to cancel the duties against Canada Trump replied a dry “no”, only to declare that he would like to make a “new commercial agreement” with the neighbor. The Canadian premier for his part stressed that the USMCA, the agreement between Mexico, Canada and the United States, is a “base for wider negotiations” and that some aspects will have to change, suggesting that Trump has exploited parts of the agreement to manage the increase in rates. Tycoon has also returned to China – “wants to negotiate but we will meet them at the right time” – and on the other countries with which a commercial war is underway, insisting that they are the ones to be under pressure and not the United States. «They must sign agreements with us. They want a slice of our market. We do not want a slice of theirs, “he reiterated by comparing America to a” super luxury “shop that grants great promotions. The president also mentioned a “big announcement” that he will do at the end of this week or Monday, before leaving for Saudi Arabia, but did not want to clarify whether it is duties. “It will be very positive,” he limited himself to saying.
