ADVERTISEMENT 'Never say never' ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, what was seen as the most anticipated meeting. The meet came amid Canada strife and Trump's constant persistent to make Canada as 51st US State.Mark Carney told Donald Trump in a stern message that Canada "is not for sale" as the president raised the prospect of the country becoming the 51st US state while welcoming the prime minister to the White House. The former central banker responded with a firm but measured tone after the president proposed a "wonderful marriage" of incorporating Canada into the US.The US president dominated the discussion, but Carney did make his position clear on issues like tariffs and Canada becoming America's 51st state.

Carney gave a clear message that Canada is not for 'sale' but Trump added 'never say never' with a mischievous smile on his face.Social media erupted over their exchange, with MAGA commentators claiming that Carney's hesitation indicated panic when he stated that Canada was not for sale. In contrast, Canadian users pushed back, arguing that he wasn't stuttering but simply speaking respectfully without resorting to unnecessary aggression.What started as a warm conversation between Trump and Carney soon turned tense when Trump again argued that Canada would be better off as part of the US. Carney came prepared with a carefully worded response.

"As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale," he told property magnate Trump, likening Canada to the Oval Office itself and to Britain's Buckingham Palace. "Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign in the last several months, it's not for sale. Won't be for sale, ever."

Trump replied: "Never say never. "This left social media users wondering what Carney meant by who are the owners of Canada and what he meant by it. While he was likely referring to the Canadian citizens he encountered during his election campaign—many of whom strongly oppose merging with the United States—it's important to remember that Canada is a constitutional monarchy, with King Charles III as its head of state.Several clips of Mark Carney from the meeting went viral, with Canadians applauding his restraint as Trump made a series of misleading statements.

One popular post, featuring a video of Carney awkwardly tilting his head, read: “Mark Carney’s brain just rebooted on live TV after Trump’s stupid comment that we don't do much business with Canada. Canada is actually the largest importer of U.S. goods. Look at his face!”
