King Charles III gave an unusual speech to the Canadian Parliament, emphasizing Canada's independence after President Trump suggested Canada could become part of the US. He spoke about the current problems and worries Canadians are feeling, and he promised to protect the French language and Quebec culture. This was his first visit as King, and it happened while Trump was threatening new taxes on Canadian goods and criticizing Canada's military spending. The speech confirmed Canada's independence and announced plans to join the EU's "REARM Europe" project, without mentioning buying from the US.
