Fri Mar 14 18:21:45 UTC 2025: ## Canada Rejects Trump’s Annexation Threats: New PM Carney Vows Independence
**OTTAWA** – Newly inaugurated Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney emphatically rejected US President Donald Trump’s implied threats of annexation, stating unequivocally that Canada will never become part of the United States. In his first address following his swearing-in ceremony Friday, Carney declared, “Canada will never, ever, in any way, shape or form, be part of the United States.”
While firmly asserting Canada’s sovereignty, Carney also expressed a desire for productive collaboration with the Trump administration. The precise nature of this potential cooperation remains unclear. Carney’s strong stance against annexation marks a significant moment in Canada-US relations, following a period of increased tension under the previous administration.
