Canada for Sale? Trump’s Shocking Pitch and Carney’s Defiant Response! Trade War Threats | CLRCUT

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met US President Donald Trump on May 6 in an effort to reset strained ties. Despite cordial exchanges, tensions flared over Trump’s calls for Canada to become the 51st US state and his refusal to lift tariffs on Canadian goods. Carney firmly rejected annexation, stressing sovereignty and deeper partnership. Meanwhile, South Korean defence firms proposed a $20–24 billion deal to modernize Canada’s military, offering local production and full tech access—signaling Ottawa's shift away from U.S. defence reliance amid growing trade and diplomatic rifts. Trump maintained Canada benefits disproportionately from US support and trade.
