Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney firmly told US President Donald Trump that Canada is “not for sale” during Tuesday’s first White House meeting, addressing tariffs and annexation musings. Carney’s stance, amid trade tensions, underscores Canada’s push for economic independence.

On May 6, 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney, fresh off his April 28 election win, met President Donald Trump at the White House, bluntly rejecting Trump’s recurring annexation rhetoric, as reported by Reuters. “Canada’s not for sale, ever,” Carney declared, countering Trump’s quip, “Never say never.” Trump, who imposed tariffs on Canadian goods, called the talks “tough” but affirmed friendship, stating, “Canada is special to me,” per Bloomberg.

Carney, elected on a platform to oppose Trump, emphasised a new economic and security relationship with the US, reducing reliance on exports, which account for 75% of Canada’s trade.

The meeting, widely discussed on X, did not see tariff relief, with Trump dismissing the possibility when asked. As The Globe and Mail noted, Carney downplayed breakthrough expectations, focusing on long-term diversification.

Trade Deal and Economic Context

The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), signed by Trump in his first term and set for 2026 review, faces uncertainty as Trump distances himself from it. Carney’s push for economic diversification threatens the agreement’s stability, with Canada seeking to bolster trade with Asia and Europe. The tariffs, impacting Canadian aluminium and lumber, have strained relations, with Moody’s warning of economic ripple effects. Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on US goods, announced post-election, signal a tougher stance.

Mark Carney’s bold rejection of annexation and tariffs during his White House talks with Donald Trump on May 6, 2025, marks a defiant stand for Canada’s sovereignty. As trade tensions simmer and the USMCA’s future looms, Carney’s push for economic independence signals a pivotal shift. The outcome of these talks will shape Canada-US relations amid a turbulent global market.
