Canada's not for sale? Trump: “Never Say Never”

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said during a gathering with Donald Trump that his country is not for sale. The president of the United States commented on these words by saying, "Time will show it." He besides ruled out a tariff simplification on Canadian goods and announced that the Huti would halt attacking ships in the Red Sea.

As you know, there are places in the real property business that are never for sale. We're in 1 right now. The Buckingham Palace you visited is besides 1 of them. And after (my) gathering with the owners of Canada during the run of the last fewer months, Canada is not for sale either

said Carney, answering the question of whether his country might be joining the US.

It'll never be for sale, but the chance is in partnership and what we can build together.

“He added.

Before that, Trump said that he did not intend to discuss the issue during the Wednesday conversation, but re-named the benefits that Canadians would receive from specified a solution and said that from the position of the real property developer the combined countries, without a “artificial line” separating them, would constitute a “beautiful formation”.

I think the people of Canada would benefit greatly from this, for example, lower taxes, the free military that, frankly, we are giving you due to the fact that we are protecting Canada.

“ Trump said.

He later added, referring to Carney's remark that Canada is not for sale: "Time will show it".

Never say never

He stressed.

Trump besides reiterated that America does not request Canadian cars and another imported products, claiming unwarrantedly that the US "subsidise" Canada amounts to $200 billion and said nothing could convince him to cut tariffs on Canadian goods. The American president besides spoke about the request to renegotiate the USMCA trade agreement, which is expected under the Treaty next year. USNCA is simply a free trade agreement concluded by the US with Canada and Mexico.

Carney, speaking of duties, tried to soften Trump's pronunciation by claiming that duties would not reduce individual concessions or decisions, but it is simply a “part of a greater discussion”.

There are much more forces active and it takes time and discussion and that is why we are here.

“He said.

American goods in Canada

He besides pointed out that Canada is the largest client of goods exported from the USA, and 50% of cars in its country are cars manufactured in the USA. Washington imposed a 25-percent work on part of Canadian goods not subject to USMCA. The country was besides heavy affected by sector tariffs on steel and aluminium and cars and their parts. Canada introduced a akin amount of work on US own products.

Despite these differences, Trump spoke in warm words about the Prime Minister and Canada, claiming that by winning the Carney-led election the Canadian Liberals had made a "great political return", possibly larger than his return to the White House. He joked, referring to his unpopularity among the Canadians that he himself was the best thing that could happen to Carney. At the same time, he admitted that he did not like his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, whom he one more time called “the governor”.

No substance what, we'll always be friends with Canada. Canada is simply a very peculiar place for me

“ Trump declared.

He besides announced that the US would always defend Canada.

During his gathering at the Oval Office, Trump besides announced that the US would halt the bombing of Iran-supported Shiite Huti rebels in Yemen, in consequence to their "capitulation" and resign from attacking ships passing through the Red Sea.

We had very good news last night. The Huti have announced that they no longer want to fight. They just don't want to fight. And we will respect it, and we will do so: we will halt the bombing, and they capitulated

said Trump during the gathering with Carney.

They say they won't blow up ships anymore, and that's the point of what we did, so that's just news. We just found out.

“ He reported.

Inquiring about the origin of these messages, Trump said that "it doesn't matter," but assured that it was a "very good source".

They said: “Please don’t bomb us again. We will not attack your ships”

“ Trump said.

For almost 2 months there was a run of bombing by US Hutich forces in Yemen, and American-Israeli raids were besides carried out on Yemen's capital city, Sana, in retaliation for the drone attack at Ben Gurion's airport in Tel Aviv.

Trump besides announced that he would shortly have something “very, very crucial to announce” and that it would be affirmative news. However, he did not want to say what he intended to announce, but in order not to necessarily tie it to commercial issues.
