Canadians 'weren't impressed' by second UK state visit for Trump, PM Mark Carney says

King Charles is scheduled to open Canada’s parliament in Ottawa on May 27, marking the first British monarch’s attendance since 1977.
This event follows Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s criticism of Britain’s unprecedented second state visit invitation to Donald Trump amid tensions over Trump's remarks on Canadian sovereignty.
Carney, who won Canada’s federal election last month, said Charles’s presence is deliberate to reaffirm Canadian sovereignty during heightened U.S. Political pressure.
Carney explained that Canadians were unimpressed by Trump's invitation, especially since it occurred during a period when the country was firmly asserting its stance on sovereignty.
The event underscores diplomatic strains as Britain attempts to balance relations with Canada and the U.S., while managing King Charles’s symbolic role in both nations.
