Mark Carney says Canadians are not 'impressed' by UK's invite to Trump

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canadians were not "impressed" by the UK government's invitation to US President Donald Trump for a second state visit.The newly elected Carney told Sky News that the UK's invitation earlier this year did not help Canadians, who were facing repeat comments from Trump about making Canada the 51st US state."To be frank, [Canadians] weren't impressed by that gesture... given the circumstance," he said. "It was at a time when we were being quite clear about the issues around sovereignty."Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer invited Trump to come to the UK for a visit during a meeting at the White House in February.
