Donald Trump invited Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to the White House this week, and to say the two leaders’ meeting was awkward is certainly an understatement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And to be honest, that should hardly come as a surprise considering the ongoing tensions between the two nations.<\/p>\n

Amid Trump’s instance on rolling out\u00a0tariffs<\/a>\u00a0to many nations across the globe, the 47th POTUS has told\u00a0Canada<\/a>\u00a0the ‘solution’ for the country to avoid such tariffs would be to\u00a0become America’s 51st state<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even with 25 percent tariffs now imposed, Canada has remained firm in its stance against becoming another state of America.<\/p>\n

Former Prime Minister\u00a0Justin Trudeau<\/a>\u00a0said it was never\u00a0‘going to happen’<\/a>, while his successor,\u00a0Mark Carney<\/a>, confirmed in a meeting with Trump on Tuesday (6 May) that his\u00a0nation is ‘never [going to be] for sale’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Likening Canada to the\u00a0UK’s<\/a>\u00a0Buckingham Palace or the US’ Oval Office, Carney resolved: “As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale.<\/p>\n

“Having met with the owners of\u00a0Canada<\/a>\u00a0over the course of the campaign in the last several months, it’s not for sale. Won’t be for sale, ever.”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the Oval Office meeting, Carney seemed to fact-check\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0over comments the president made about dealings with its neighbor.<\/p>\n

“We don’t do much business with Canada,” Trump said, which Carney swiftly hit back to.\u00a0Take a look below:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are the largest client of the United States, in totality of all the goods,” Carney quipped.<\/p>\n

“We have a tremendous auto sector between the two of us and the changes made have been helpful. 50 percent of a car that comes from Canada is American; that’s not like anywhere else in the world.”<\/p>\n

As for Canada becoming the 51st state, Carney made it clear it’s certainly not on the cards – but that didn’t stop Trump probing.<\/p>\n

Carney said Canadians are ‘masters in our own home’ and ‘can give ourselves far more than any foreign government can ever take away’.<\/p>\n

Trump followed up by saying ‘Never say never’, before he added: “I\u2019ve had many, many things that were not doable and ended up being doable.”<\/p>\n

Body language expert Beth Dawson\u00a0analyzed the moment<\/a>\u00a0on the steps of the White House, stating the Canadian PM seemed ‘assertive’ but also ‘submissive’ and ‘apprehensive’.<\/p>\n

Dawson added: “The elbow touch, however, shows that he wants to establish connection on equal terms. His expression is one of determination.<\/p>\n

“Carney is not passive, but he is also careful not to come across as overly forceful and he does seem slightly intimidated.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
