According to a lip reader, Trump directed Carney to “turn your face and wave over there,” treating the moment like a film set. Carney complied, unfazed. Trump later gave a thumbs-up to VP JD Vance, saying, “I admire him.”
Body language experts noted Carney’s calm assertiveness mixed with a hint of deference, while Trump maintained his usual dominant presence—even floating (again) the idea of Canada joining the U.S. as its 51st state.
Carney’s sharp reply? “Canada is not for sale. Won’t be for sale, ever.”
