Trump again singled out Canada for a warning! On January 25, U.S. President Trump said that Canada's cooperation with China is "self-destructive." Canada is systematically destroying itself. The agreement with China is a disaster for them. He predicted that this agreement with China would become "one of the worst agreements in history." Previously, Trump claimed that if Canada reached an agreement with China, all Canadian goods entering the United States would immediately be subject to a 100% tariff.
Evidently, since Canada improved its relations with China and publicly criticized the United States at the World Economic Forum, Trump has been at odds with Canada. In Trump's eyes, it seems that Canada is a vassal state of the United States, and as the U.S. president, Trump can give orders to Canada, as if the United States knows better what is good for Canada than Canada itself.
To put it plainly, what Canada is doing now is really provoking the United States. But what are the facts? The fact is that the Canadian Prime Minister had just finished his visit to China, and the Canadian Energy Minister then embarked on a trip to India. This proves that Canada wants to diversify its trade partners and break away from its dependence on the United States. It is clear that Canada has made up its mind.
The situation is clear: the more Trump uses threats and coercive methods against Canada, the more Canada will move away from the United States. From the perspective of Canada's internal dynamics, the voices in Canada calling for a strong stance against the U.S. are growing louder, and Carney's position is becoming more solid. Recently, Canada even held a "counter-American invasion drill" unseen in a century. Obviously, Trump's tactics cannot win Canada's heart, and Canada is unlikely to accept American interference in its internal affairs.
