US EditionCarney says Trump is no longer interested in annexing Canada
- On Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney indicated that President Donald Trump no longer expresses interest in making Canada the 51st state.

- Carney’s comments suggest the annexation rhetoric has cooled, shifting focus to advancing bilateral relations and addressing regional security with a moral imperative to move forward.
