Canadian PM criticises UK invitation to Trump for second state visit

Donald Trump recently requested for Canada to be the 51st U.S. state after suggesting its annexation, which has angered Canadians. In response, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer proposed an invitation from King Charles III, the monarch who also serves as Canada's head of state. Mark Carney, Canada's prime minister, criticized this move, arguing it didn't address the sovereignty issues with Trump and instead chose to engage in a symbolic gesture during the current diplomatic climate. However, he acknowledged that his criticism was part of ongoing tensions with Trump, highlighting the intentional nature of these interactions due to his influence on Canada's relations with the U.S.
