2. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada:
"President Trump and I met today as leaders of two sovereign, independent nations. And I want to thank the president and the members of his cabinet that attended for welcoming me and my colleagues to the White House and for our very constructive discussions. I conveyed to the president today what our countries have long proven to be true, that Canada and the United States are stronger when we work together. We can get a better deal for our workers. We can create more opportunities for our businesses. We can build stronger economies across North America when we work together. And really, today marked the end of the beginning of a process of the United States and Canada redefining that relationship of working together. The question is how we will cooperate in the future, how we can build an economic and security relationship built on mutual respect, built on common interests and that delivers transformational benefits to our economies."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada:
"We are masters in our own home. And we can give ourselves far more than any foreign government can ever take away. So now is the time to build, and based on the discussion today, to build at home and to build with our partners abroad, including the United States."
5. Wide of Carney speaking to reporters
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada:

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada:
"We’re having a very complex negotiation about a wide range of issues and it’s, as I said before I came here, I wouldn’t have expected white smoke coming out of this meeting. That was not my expectation because of the nature of the negotiation. So you don’t expect to have specific progress as things move along, even when you’re making progress."
9. Zoom in of U.S. Capitol
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada:
"The President has made known his wish about that issue for some time. I’ve been careful always to distinguish between wish and reality. I was clear there in the Oval Office, as I’ve been clear throughout, on behalf of Canadians, that this is never going to happen. Canada’s not for sale, it never will be for sale. Some things, as I said in the room, some things are never for sale and he agreed with that."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada:

(Reporter: "When did you ask him?")
Carney: "Oh, today."
(Reporters: "Specifically, what did you ask him?")
Carney: "Exactly what you just said."
Reporter: "But, what words did you use? How did you ask him…?"
Carney: "Look, I gave you an answer, I gave you an answer. Do you have a follow-up…?"
(Reporter: "What was his answer?"
