Near the end of answering the media’s questions, Trump loudly revived his 200-billion dollar Canadian trade subsidy, with Carney almost squirming in his seat.
As for Canada being America’s unwitting 51st state, Trump told the media “never say never” and “over time we’ll see what happens.”
When asked by the media about his intentions of ending the tariffs on Canada, Trump flatly responded: “No!”
It isn’t just a Canadian prime minister and American president who are poles apart, so are the American and international media.

”Carney doesn’t serve the people. He serves the process. And the process is consolidation. He’s already admitted as much. “I’m connected,” he said. “I know how to get things done.” And by “things,” he means the dismantling of national sovereignty, the bypassing of parliaments, and the integration of once-free societies into a global management grid. Carney is not here to lead Canada. He’s here to bury it. (John Mac Ghlionn, American Spectator, April 30, 2025)
Even Fox News has been in on the act on the theory that ‘It’s Trump’s fault that Canadians lost in last week’s election”:
“OTTAWA – While President Donald Trump was widely viewed as the major factor in securing a fourth consecutive term in office for the Liberals in last Monday’s Canadian general election, the Conservative leader played a role in his party’s defeat at the polls, according to Canadian political analysts.” (Fox News, May 6, 2025)
As it happens, Fox’s “Canadian political analysts” just happen to be far left Canadian university professors and a former Canadian socialist premier.
"Trump set the stage" for Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney "as a somber leader for the Liberals, who made people feel assured that things could be handled when there was a sense of fear of people at the beginning of the campaign worried about" the president’s threats of annexing Canada as the 51st state, University of Manitoba political studies professor Christopher Adams told Fox News Digital.
