00:00We've just seen a snapshot of the first meeting. How's things going?
00:06Yeah, Leanne, that's right. Mark Carney coming to Washington, promising to stand up to Donald Trump on various issues like trade.
00:14But at the beginning of that meeting, it seemed that there was a very friendly exchange between the two of them.
00:19Donald Trump congratulating Mark Carney on his win, becoming the Canadian prime minister last week.
00:25Mark Carney in turn thanking Donald Trump not just for his hospitality, but also for his leadership.
00:31He said that he was a transformational president and had been securing the world.
00:36Mark Carney also suggesting that the two countries shared various common goals, including securing the borders, pushing back against illegal drugs like fentanyl and trying to work together on their economy.
00:49He said that U.S. and Canada relations were stronger when the two countries worked together.
00:54But there has been that one point of contention so far during this Oval Office meeting, those repeated threats from Donald Trump to make Canada the 51st state of America.
01:06And during that exchange a little while ago in the Oval Office, Donald Trump again said he wanted to make Canada the 51st state,
01:14to which Mark Carney said Canada is not for sale ever.
01:17There are some places that are never for sale.
01:20Donald Trump saying never say never over time.
01:23We'll see what happened.
