Canada's Carney: We are ready to meet with Trump when there's respect for Canada's sovereignty
|Mark Carney, the candidate who has been tapped to replace incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has signalled that he and the Canadian administration responsible for cross-border discussions are ready and prepared to begin holding meetings with their US counterparts, and US President Donald Trump specifically to discuss trade matters. However, incoming PM Carney has fired a shot across Trump's bow, warning that Canada may not be coming to the talks table with the somber, begging approach that President Trump may be hoping for. Future-PM Carney noted that Trump is expected to respect Canada's sovereignty as the nation remains unavailable and uninterested in being 'acquired' by the US.
