Trump gives brutal three-word response after Mark Carney says Canada is 'not for sale'

In the wise words of Justin Bieber...

Donald Trump has questioned whether it would be 'doable' to make Canada the 51st state of America while in discussion with newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Since being sworn in as the 47th President of the US, Trump not only rolled out tariffs on multiple countries across the globe, but told Canada the 'solution' for the country to avoid such tariffs would be to become America's 51st state.

Now, even with the 25 percent tariffs on Canada having since come into play, Canada has remained firm in its stance against becoming another state of America, with former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resolving it was never 'going to happen' - alongside the country hitting back with its own 25 percent tariffs.

Yesterday (May 6), Trump and newly appointed Prime Minister Mark Carney sat down at the White House for their first meeting since Carney took over from Trudeau - winning the general election on April 28.

Despite the ongoing tensions, Trump and Carney doled out much praise on one another, with Trump describing Carney as a 'very talented person' and Carney branding Trump a 'transformational president'.

Alas, no matter how many compliments the POTUS flings Carney's way, one thing remains.

Echoing the same sentiment as his predecessor, Carney was certain on one thing - Canada is 'never [going to be] for sale'.

Likening Canada to Buckingham Palace or the Oval Office, Carney resolved: "As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale.

"Having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign in the last several months, it's not for sale. Won't be for sale, ever."

The prime minister added Canadians are 'masters in our own home' and 'can give ourselves far more than any foreign government can ever take away'.

Shockingly, Trump paid no attention to his resolution.

His response? Well, channeling none other than Justin Bieber, he said: "I say, 'Never say never'."

And that wasn't all...

Trump continued: "I’ve had many, many things that were not doable and ended up being doable."

It follows a body language expert breaking down the pair's meeting, with Beth Dawson analyzing the moment on the steps of the White House.

She claimed Carney seemed 'assertive' but also 'submissive' and 'apprehensive'.

Dawson added: "The elbow touch, however, shows that he wants to establish connection on equal terms. His expression is one of determination. Carney is not passive, but he is also careful not to come across as overly forceful and he does seem slightly intimidated."

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
