The Canadians “were not fans” at the invitation of the United Kingdom to visit Trump State: Carney – National

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney He criticized Britain’s invitation to Donald Trump On a second visit to the state, saying that it had undermined his government’s efforts to bring down a unified front against the US President’s talk about the annexation of Canada.

Since he took office in January, Trump has repeatedly said that he wanted to become Canada the 51st American state, a proposal that angered Canadians and left Britain in an attempt to overcome a high line between the two countries in North America.

Britain’s King Charles is also the president of Canada, and she is a former British colony. The monarch has prepared a number of symbolic gestures in recent months, wore Canadian medals, cultivating the maple tree and referring to himself as the King of Canada.

Charles, who is still undergoing cancer, is scheduled to open the opening of Canada on May 27, the first time that the British king has attended the event in Ottawa since 1977.

Carney was asked, in an interview with Sky News, that British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer moved in February to use his visit to the Oval Office to deliver an invitation from the monarch in the unprecedented visit of the second state to London.

Carney, who won the party race to become prime minister in March before achieving victory in the Canada elections last month by pledging to stand on Trump, said that the presence of Charles in Canada later this month was according to the design.

He said: “The president has emerged all issues about Canada by the president. So no, it is not a coincidence, but it is also the moment of re -guidance to the Canadians.”

Starmer, who is trying to improve trade relations with the United States after Britain left the European Union, sought to play his strengths when dealing with Trump, talking about its security experience, pledged to higher defensive spending, and providing the splendor and competition that comes with the state’s visit.

Trump, whose mother was born in Britain and who repeatedly praised the British royal family, agreed to a limited bilateral agreement with London this month.

When asked about Carney’s criticism, the British British minister, Pat, told Sky News that each country should decide how to make its relations with other countries.
