“I still believe that, but it takes two to tango,” Trump replied, in an uncharacteristic display of respect for Canadian sovereignty.
The U.S. president went on to say that he thought Canadians would benefit from becoming Americans, and that the shape of the United States would be nicer if the northern border weren’t a straight line.

Of his country, Carney said, “It’s not for sale, won’t be for sale, ever.”
