Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned Britain's invitation to Donald Trump for a second state visit, perceiving it as detrimental to Canada's stance against Trump's threats of annexation. Carney emphasized that Canadians were not pleased with the British gesture, especially considering the ongoing discussions on sovereignty. He noted that King Charlesâs planned visit to Canada symbolizes a reaffirmation of Canadian identity amidst these tensions. Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer aims to strengthen UK-US relations post-Brexit, but must navigate the delicate relationship between Canada and the United States.
"I think, to be frank, they [Canadians] weren't impressed by that gesture given the circumstance. It was at a time when we were being quite clear about issues around sovereignty."
"All issues around Canadaâs sovereignty have been accentuated by the president. So no, itâs not coincidental, but it is also a reaffirming moment for Canadians."
