Video: Carney Tells Trump Canada Is ‘Never For Sale’

“When you get rid of that artificially drawn line — somebody drew that line many years ago with a ruler, just a straight line right across the top of the country. When I looked at that — I said, that’s the way it was meant to be.” “As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale.” “That’s true.” “We’re sitting in one right now. Buckingham Palace that you visited as well.” “That’s true.” “And having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign, last several months, it’s not for sale. It won’t be for sale, ever. But the opportunity is in the partnership and what we can build together.” “It’s only time. But I say, never say never. I’ve had many, many things that were not doable, and they ended up being doable and only doable in a very friendly way. But if it’s to everybody’s benefit, Canada loves us and we love Canada. That’s I think the No. 1 thing that’s important. But we’ll see. I mean over time, we’ll see what happens.” “Respectfully, Canadians’ view on this is not going to change on the 51st state. Secondly, we are the largest client of the United States in the totality of all the goods. So we are the largest client of the United States. We have a tremendous auto sector between the two of us, and the changes that made have been helpful. You know, 50 percent of a car that comes from Canada is American. That’s not like anywhere else in the world. And to your question about is there one thing? No, this is a bigger discussion. There are much bigger forces involved. And this will take some time and some discussions. And that’s why we’re here.”
