Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that he will meet with US President Donald Trump in June at the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, APA reports citing CNN.
“We had what I would describe as wide ranging, and as I said a moment ago, very constructive discussions,” Carney told reporters today at the Canadian Embassy in Washington.
“We agreed to have further conversations in the coming weeks, and we are looking forward to meeting in person at the G7 summit in Canada,” he added.
Trump has not yet confirmed his attendance at the summit. According to three US officials familiar with the matter, ahead of the Trump-Carney meeting, Trump and his aides had not made a final decision on attending the summit.
Carney also reiterated that Canada “is not for sale” after Trump earlier said that he still would like the US neighbor to the north to become a state.
“The president has made known his wish about that issue for some time,” Carney said. “I’ve been careful always to distinguish between wish and reality. I was clear there in the Oval Office, as I’ve been clear throughout on behalf of Canadians, that this is never going to happen. Canada is not for sale and never will be for sale.”
