While at Parliament on Tuesday, May 27, King Charles declared Canada faces "unprecedented" challenges to its "freedom and democracy.""We must face reality: Since the Second World War, our world has never been more dangerous and unstable. Canada is facing challenges that, in our lifetimes, are unprecedented," Charles, who serves as Canada's head of state, said in French.

Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed King Charles' trip with journalists, saying the royal's presence "underscores the sovereignty of Canada."_
Donald Trump has made several comments about taking over Canada, but Mark Carney and his predecessor, Justin Trudeau, have taken a strong stance against the president."Canadians can give themselves far more than any foreign power on any continent can ever take away. And that by staying true to Canadian values, Canada can build new alliances and a new economy that serves all Canadians," Charles said in a speech.
"The prime minister and the president of the United States, for example, have begun defining a new economic and security relationship between Canada and the U.S., rooted in mutual respect and founded on common interests, to deliver transformational benefits for both sovereign nations," the king continued.

"They are considering the offer," he added.
