Trump did not explicitly state that he would annex Canada

Trump did not explicitly state that he would annex Canada or that he would discuss creating a 51st state with Mark Carney during his time on Meet the Press.

However, he has made comments in the past that could be interpreted as joking about such a scenario. It is important to clarify that the annexation of Canada would require a mutual agreement between the two countries, as well as a significant legal and political process, which is highly unlikely to happen without Canada's consent.

The relationship between the U.S. and Canada is typically characterized by friendship and cooperation, with both nations respecting each other's sovereignty. Mark Carney is a Canadian economist who served as the Governor of the Bank of Canada and later the Governor of the Bank of England, not involved in U.S. statehood discussions.
