Canada will deal with US 'on our own terms' Mark Carney tells BBC | BBC News

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said his country will only enter trade and security talks with President Donald Trump "on our terms", adding that Canada deserves respect from the US.

In a world exclusive interview, Carney told the BBC he would only visit Washington when there was a "serious discussion to be had" that respected Canada's sovereignty.

Since Trump's re-election to the White House, the US president has repeatedly mentioned making Canada the "51st state" of America, which has infuriated Canadians.

Carney, who secured a historic victory for his Liberal Party in a snap election on Monday, said such a scenario was "never, ever going to happen".

He has been speaking to the BBC's Economics editor Faisal Islam.
