The King is planning to meet Mark Carney this week, in a sign of the UK’s unwavering support for Canada amid continuing tensions with President Trump.
Sources close to Charles said there was a “determination” from the monarch to see the new Canadian prime minister when he visits the UK in the coming days. The Sunday Times revealed last weekend that the King was concerned about the discord between Canada and the US.
Since his re-election, Trump has repeatedly proposed to make Canada, where Charles is head of state, America’s “51st state” and has imposed crippling tariffs on the country.
When asked about oil and gas investments, Carney responds that companies "must have business plans that are consistent with the transition to net zero."
Does this sound like someone who is going to build pipelines and develop Canada's oil and gas industry?
No. Of course not. pic.twitter.com/QixNDFSTnZ
