Accusations from afar! Trump, embarrassed, withdrew the invitation, revealing his hegemonic attitude!

On January 23, AFP reported: "Trump and Carney had a verbal clash. Trump at Davos claimed Canada's existence is entirely due to the United States. Carney immediately countered firmly, stating that Canada does not rely on the United States, and that Canadians are the masters of the country. This bold confrontation made Trump feel embarrassed and angry, leading him to quickly withdraw Canada's invitation to join the 'Peace Committee'. Previously, Carney had already criticized American hegemony at Davos, opposing its attempt to seize Greenland through tariffs. He left before even meeting Trump. Meanwhile, none of the U.S. Western allies attended the 'Peace Committee' established by Trump."

[Witty] Trump's petty hegemonic temper, and Carney refused to comply! Trump brazenly claimed that Canada exists because of the United States, but he probably forgot the old grudge of Canadian militiamen burning the White House! Once, the U.S. and Canada fought bitterly, and now the U.S. tries to act as a "suzerain" through economic ties. Carney refuses to indulge, directly exposing the fragility of American hegemony with the statement "we are the masters ourselves." Withdrawing the invitation to the Peace Committee seems more like a child throwing a tantrum. After all, this committee has been collectively ignored by Western allies, turning into a lonely solo performance. Carney dares to stand up to it and pursues multipolarity; even American allies are drifting away. Trump still clings to his hegemonic mindset, issuing orders arrogantly, but it's ultimately no longer workable. The times have changed, and no one is willing to be a vassal of the United States anymore!
