Rejecting US President Donald Trump’s threat to annex Canada to the United States, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said, Canada will never be part of the United States.
British newspaper The Guardian reported this information in a report.
According to reports, he made the comments after being sworn in as the country’s 24th prime minister on Friday.
Mark Carney told a crowd gathered outside Rideau Hall in Ottawa, “We will never be part of the United States, in any shape or form. We are fundamentally a separate country.”
The former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England said that Canada “expects respect” from the United States. He expressed hope that his government would find ways to “work together” with the Trump administration.
