At a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday (local time), US President Donald Trump interrupted as Starmer replied to a question from a journalist on the issue of Canada. Speaking at the presser with Trump in Washington, DC, Starmer said, "I think you're (journalist) trying to find a divide between us that doesn't exist. We're the closest of nations and we had very good discussions today, but we didn't touch Canada," after which Trump was heard saying, "That's enough, thank you."

Earlier in the day, Trump had decided to continue with the imposition of tariffs on Canada and Mexico from March 4, citing the flow of illicit drugs allegedly coming into the US from their borders. He also decided to continue the imposition of reciprocal tariffs "with full force" on April 2.
