King Charles, speaking during a brief symbolic visit to show support for Canada at a time it has faced annexation threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, on Tuesday expressed his love for the country, which he described as "strong and free", APA reports citing Reuters.
Charles, Canada's head of state, is the first British monarch in almost 70 years to preside over the opening of the Canadian parliament.
In a speech in the Senate, Charles referred to "the country that Canadians and I love so much" but did not mention Trump, who has imposed tariffs on Canadian exports and muses about turning Canada into the 51st U.S. state.
"The True North is indeed strong and free," Charles said, referring to Canada's national anthem.
