So how is Canada channeling its fury at Donald Trump and his regime in a very productive way is the answer. Prime Minister Carney held a major meetings on the sidelines of a conference in South Korea the other day with the leader of China, Xi Jinping. You see right here, the two leaders shaking hands. It looked like a very different handshake I might add than the one between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. It was also a very different meeting as well. One where it seems that real substance and a real productive dialogue emerged between Prime Minister Carney and Xi Jinping. So Carney has accepted Xi's invitation to visit China that will be taking place relatively soon. They also talked about joint efforts to find better ways to collaborate, whether that's in the form of electric vehicles, Canada's rare earth elements, the types of things that the United States desperately needs.
And based on what Trump did with Xi Jinping, Donald Trump every year is going to have to go to China to beg, please, Xi Jinping, can you release some rare earth elements that you shut down with export controls into the United States? It would be nice, Donald, if you just look to your neighbor in the North who's got a bunch of that as well and who was your ally before. But okay, Canada said, we've moved on. And this is one of, I think, The biggest ways we've seen it, I mean, there hasn't been a meeting really between leadership in Canada and China since 2017. And Prime Minister Carney described his meeting with Xi Jinping in no uncertain terms as a turning point in the relationship between Canada and China.
Just think about this. As Prime Minister Carney says, we've moved on. We're not looking to the U.S. anymore. Now a turning point in the relationship between Canada and China. Perhaps China now is a more reliable trading partner and ally, dare I say, than the United States. Let me show you what Carney said when he talked about it being a turning point. This is as he left the meeting, and here's how he addressed the press. Let's talk about it. This meeting today is long overdue.
It has been eight years since a Canadian Prime Minister has met with the President of China. We now have a turning point in the relationship, a turning point that creates opportunities for Canadian families, for Canadian businesses and Canadian workers. and also creates a path to address current issues. So we're very pleased with the outcome of the meeting.
What strategies did Canada use to outmaneuver Donald Trump?
Our officials are instructed to work at pace on issues moving forward.
Prime Minister, you alluded to an invitation.
The invitation has been extended, and I indicated that I look forward to accepting that invitation. You're not going to see Donald Trump speaking multiple languages.
You're not going to see Donald Trump, frankly speaking, English language either. I mean, what a contrast right there as well. Let me just show you the remarks by Prime Minister Carney in that meeting with Xi Jinping. The contrast could not be more stark between this meeting and the one we saw between Trump and Xi. Here, play this clip.
Thank you, Mr. President. It is a pleasure to meet you again and to meet you for the first time in my capacity as Prime Minister. I had the great pleasure of attending, amongst other meetings in China, the G20, over which you presided, at a time of great hope for the international system and great progress under the banner of the G20.
