Canada's new prime minister: We will definitely not join the United States

NNA - Canada's new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, declared after being sworn in that his country "will not, in any way, join" the United States, stressing that his approach will differ from that of his predecessor, Justin Trudeau.

Carney told reporters after being sworn in as Canada's 24th Prime Minister, as reported by Russia Today, "We respect President Trump. He has put very important issues at the top of his agenda. We understand his agenda."

He noted that he has interacted with Trump during international meetings.

Carney explained that his approach "will be different from that of his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, whose relationship with Trump was often tense and cold."

Carney, who previously served as governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, emphasized that his "independent experience in dealing with crises makes him the best person to confront Trump," who has repeatedly spoken about the possibility of annexing Canada.

Despite his confirmation of the possibility of cooperation with Trump, Carney noted that talk of "annexing Canada to the United States" by some American officials is "crazy."

He continued: "I have been absolutely clear...We will never, in any way, be part of the United States...America is not Canada."

Carney also reshuffled his 24-member cabinet, eliminating nearly half of the ministerial positions he inherited from Trudeau.
