Canadian PM criticises UK invite to Trump for second state visit

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has criticised Britain’s invitation to Mr Donald Trump for a second state visit, saying it undermined his government’s effort to project a united front against the US President’s talk of annexing Canada.

Mr Starmer, who is trying to improve trading ties with the US after Britain left the European Union, has sought to play to its strengths when dealing with Mr Trump, talking up its security expertise, pledging higher defence spending, and offering the pomp and pageantry that comes with a state visit.

  • I agree. United we stand, divided we fall. When are these leaders make the jump from talking a big game to actually acting on it?

    Appeasing 👏 to 👏 bullies 👏 leads 👏 to 👏 more 👏 bullying.

    This goes to any other leader doing the same. China may not be a role-model for many things, but they at least had enough of a backbone to fight Trump until he forced his own hand into lowering his stupid tariffs. They can't win a trade war against the entire world, when said world can trade between itself anyway.

    You can't look at a madman threatening you by saying "Do what I say, or I'll shoot myself in the foot!" and give him power over you.
