Summary
Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly told U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Canada’s sovereignty is non-negotiable after Donald Trump suggested it should become the 51st state.
Rubio acknowledged disagreement but said it wasn’t a summit topic.
Prime Minister Mark Carney dismissed Trump’s remarks as “crazy.” Joly emphasized that G7 ministers shouldn’t treat the issue as a joke.
Despite tensions, G7 ministers agreed to collaborate on shared priorities. Joly urged provinces to reduce internal trade barriers and diversify Canada’s international partnerships beyond the U.S.
