So like, picture this: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney (super new on the job, btw) totally strutted into the White House today to meet with President Donald Trump, and girl… it was tense. They smiled for the cameras and all, but underneath? Full Real Housewives of Ottawa meets D.C. energy.
Let’s just get right to it — Trump, being Trump, literally brought up that whole “Canada should be the 51st state” thing again (like, are we still doing that?). And Carney? He was not having it. He literally said, “Canada is not for sale,” and honestly, snaps. Like, yes king, protect your sovereignty! Trump, kinda joking but also maybe not, was like “never say never” and then tried to play it off with “we just want to be friends.” Classic deflect, tbh.
But like, it wasn’t all side-eyes and polite insults. They did manage to, like, agree on some stuff. Nothing super official, but they made a verbal pinky promise (okay not literally, but you get it) to open talks about modernizing trade and security stuff. Because, yeah — tariffs are a whole thing again. Trump basically said he still hates the USMCA deal and called it “transitional,” which like, rude? Carney stood his ground though and said Canada’s down to talk but not if it means throwing their economy under the bus.
Also, lowkey drama: Canada’s hinting it might start buying military gear from Europe instead of the U.S. now. That’s like saying, “I’m seeing other people.” Love that energy.
And get this — Canadian Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and U.S. Commerce bro Howard Lutnick are gonna, like, keep the convo going. So it’s not just a one-date situation. There’s totally gonna be a second round.
So yeah, nothing totally locked down yet, but the vibes? Definitely shifting. Both sides are like, “We still kinda like each other, but we’re setting some boundaries.” And honestly? Good for them.
XOXO,
