Carney says he will visit France and the UK on his first overseas trip in the job, adding that he currently has "no plans" to meet Trump, but "looks forward" to speaking to him.
When asked about US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s latest comment saying that "economically speaking Canada would be better as the 51st state of the United States", Carney called it "crazy".

The only thing that’s “crazy” is this inept lying sleazeball becoming PM without being elected by us Canadians. He ruined the UK economy with his rabidly insane climate agenda and is already showing signs of going full speed ahead to do the same in Canada. For the love of God, Canada, he was Trudeau’s main economic advisor, and look at the devastation wrought. Do you want to see more thousands of people living in their cars or on the street, and food banks on every corner?
