King Charles III arrives in Canada to underscore its sovereignty after Trump annexation threats

  • King Charles III arrived in Ottawa on Monday to open Canada's new parliament and emphasize the nation's sovereignty amid U.S. annexation talk.
  • The visit follows U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's state invitation to Donald Trump on behalf of the king, which upset many Canadians given Trump's sovereignty threats.
  • During the visit, King Charles displayed Canadian military medals aboard a British aircraft carrier and engaged with citizens at a farmers' market and a street hockey game.
  • Prime Minister Mark Carney stated the visit reflects "enduring tradition and friendship," while spectator Norman MacDonald affirmed, "Canada is not for sale" and "not going to be bullied."
  • The visit underscores Canada's constitutional monarchy and distinct identity, suggesting a diplomatic message that Trump and others may notice before the king returns to the U.K. after Tuesday's events.
