Mark Carney says that Canadians are not “impressed” from the invitation of Britain to Trump

The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that the Canadians were not “impressed” by the British government's invitation to US President Donald Trump.

The newly elected Carney announced Sky News that the United Kingdom's invitation did not help the Canadians at the beginning of this year, who confronted the 51st US state with repeated comments from Trump.

“To be honest [Canadians] Were impressed by this gesture … given the circumstances, “he said.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starrer invited Trump to come to the UK during a meeting in the White House in February.

When asked whether the invitation was “appropriate”, Carney said that this was a decision for the Great Britain and Buckingham Palace government.

“I leave the British government's diplomacy,” he said.

The BBC contacted the Carney office and No. 10 for a comment.

When Buckingham Palace was reached by the BBC, he said that the problem was a matter for the abroad and Commonwealth office and did not comment on.

Carney's criticism comes when the Canadians are preparing to greet King Charles III and Queen Camilla for a royal visit at the end of this month.

During the Sky News interview, Carney said his invitation for King – Canada's head of state – was “not accidental” at the opening of the Canadian parliament.

“It is also a affirmative moment, becomes a affirmative,” said Carney, saying that the problems in Canada's sovereignty were emphasized by the President. “

During his visit, the king will also read about the throne – a function that is usually carried out by the general governor.

The last time this was in October 1977 when Queen Elizabeth II read the speech in Canadian history for the second time. The first was in 1957.

Since returning to the White House, Trump has made repeated comments, the Canada's sovereignty undermined, including the Canadian border, is an “artificially drawn line”.

In the meantime, Carney firmly said that Canada was “not for sale”.

Carney – He said he would only meet the US President, “until we get the respect we deserve” – ​​sat down with Trump in Washington DC last week to start negotiations on a new trade and security relationship.

During the visit, Trump repeated his 51st state comments.

Carney told Sky News that Trump had shifted his tone of “expectation to a wish for what is happening”.

“He also came from a place where he realized that this would not happen.”
