Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met the leaders of Britain and France on Monday during his first official overseas trip, seeking support from two of Ottawa’s oldest allies as U.S. President Donald Trump targets Canada’s sovereignty and economy.
Canadians have criticized the leaders of the two countries that founded Canada for their muted response to Trump’s attacks. The president has imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum and repeatedly commented on turning Canada into the 51st state.
Carney and French President Emmanuel Macron did not take journalists’ questions, and a joint news conference was not scheduled with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, either. An official familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly, said the Canadians proposed a press conference in Paris but the French declined.
Starmer has called Canada a friend and ally of the U.K. but has declined to directly call out Trump’s talk of annexation — though he went further than he has before by stressing Canada’s sovereignty.
“The relationship between our two countries has always been strong,” Starmer told Carney inside the British leader’s 10 Downing St. residence. “Two sovereign allies, so much in common — a shared history, shared values, shared king.”
Carney dismissed the notion that he is seeking the support of other countries to affirm Canada as a nation. “We don’t need another country to validate our sovereignty, we are sovereign,” he said. “We can stand up for ourselves. The disrespect is not helpful and needs to stop before we sit down about a broader partnership.”
Macron did not address Trump’s attacks on Canada ahead of their talks but noted that tariffs only bring inflation and damage to supply chains.

Drama queens.
Could they have made the headline a little more hysterical?
Canada targets America’s economy with their excessively high tariffs on U.S. made products.
AP is the gold standard for leftist/anti Trump propagand
“Targets” their sovereignty? ROTFLMAO!
American Pravda sure is sensitive about a little trash talk directed at Castro’s little bastard.
I understand better and better how Joseph Goebbels was able to get the German people to hate the Jews.
I know Trump is just trolling Trudeau and the Canadians, and I think the idea of taking on all of Canada would be a disaster because it would throw the House to the Democrats for decades. But the idea of taking certain provinces of Canada could work. Alberta, maybe BC. They can keep Ontario and the hordes of left-wingers and immigrants.
And weaklings.
Sounds like the bumbling Trudeau also had NATO officers in Ukraine that were surrounded by Putin.
Idiots!
If Europe and Canada don’t go along with Trump, they’ll be Russians soon.
Maybe it will be better for them since Putin won’t allow muslim terrorists.
Canada doesn’t fund its military per NATO guidelines. Why should Europeans subsidize its defense?
Carney is such a joke. In a world that is about to revalue its currencies based on gold they hold, Canada has NO GOLD RESERVES. And guess who will be there to bail his sorry rear end out? TRUMP!! And in return, Canada will become the 51st state. They. Have. No. Choice.
I don’t understand this Canadian situation at all. Trump says Canada needs us more than we need Canada, but gets mad at Canadian tariffs as if they’ll hurt our economy. And making Canada our 51st state would add a lot of Rats in the House and a couple in the Senate. No thanks to that!
Today is Monday, March 17. ‘Castro’s little bastard’ left on Friday, March 14. This story is about Mark Carney.
True-dolt’s ‘minder’, WEF/ChiCom ‘big cheese’, Mark Carney (aka Marx Carnage), was named Crime Minister on Friday.
Please get the names correct. One should insult the correct authoritarian globalist!
Thank you.
I know Trump is just trolling Trudeau and the Canadians...
Trudeau has stepped down, according to the article. I don't know if this Carney guy is better or worse.
AP forgets to mention…
The people of France, Britton and Canada (an EU strategic partner) are in the process of trying to throw their EU puppet leaders out.
Bloviate all you want chumps
Misery loves company, supporting the war effort in Ukraine and now maybe supporting Canada is heavy load to bear
Speaking of Europe, get a load of this. A must read from a Deep State UK enemedia outlet. Author's byline goes to a dead link. And get a load of the content. It says the quiet part out loud...
...Perhaps the best way to view this brouhaha is by stating what should be obvious; Europe has enjoyed an amazing post war evolution financed initially by the United States, subsequently heavily subsidised by the US taxpayer ever since...
Is this a statement of the obvious...
Or a modified limited hangout warning Europe that the jig is up and no more laundered money for propping up their failing welfare states.
My, we live in intetesting times...
