Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada had one goal in his meeting with President Trump on Tuesday. He needed to say that Canada is not going to become the 51st U.S. state, while avoiding a public fight. And he succeeded. “As you know from real estate, there are some places that are not for sale,” Carney said. “It’s not for sale. It won’t be for sale, ever,” he added.

“Never say never,” Mr. Trump replied. But the moment’s potency had been defused, and Trump clearly was not interested in having a fight with Carney, whom he praised for his stunning electoral victory just a few days ago. #canada #trump #markcarney
