Canadians 'weren't impressed' by second UK state visit for Trump, PM Mark Carney says
- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer extended a unique invitation to U.S. President Donald Trump for a second formal state visit to the UK, following their meeting at the Oval Office in February.
- The invitation came amid fractious Canada-U.S. Relations after Trump suggested Canada should become the 51st U.S. State, a proposal that angered Canadians and heightened sovereignty concerns.
- Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney criticized the UK’s gesture, saying it undermined Canadian efforts to present a united front against Trump's annexation talk while highlighting King Charles's planned attendance at Canada's May 27 parliament opening.
- Carney stated, “I think, to be frank, they weren’t impressed by that gesture...given the circumstance” and called the King's visit a “reaffirming moment for Canadians” amid sovereignty issues accentuated by Trump.
- The episode illustrates UK’s balancing act between Canada and the U.S., using King Charles as a symbolic bridge while Britain seeks closer U.S. Trade ties post-Brexit despite causing Commonwealth tensions.
