The King has come under criticism in Canada for being silent about Mr. Trump's threats to annex Canada.
Mr. Trudeau said in London on Sunday he will discuss matters of importance to Canadians with King Charles and said "nothing seems more important to Canadians right now than standing up for our sovereignty and our independence as a nation.”
King Charles is the Head of State in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
Overall, the antiroyal movement in Canada is small, but the silence of the monarch on Mr. Trump's threats have spurred talk in recent days.

“The Government of Canada should ask the Head of State to underscore Canadian sovereignty,” Mr. Kenney posted on X.
