Not giving Trump any face at all, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau directly rebutted Trump! On January 23, according to AFP, after Trump claimed that "Canada is surviving only because of the United States," Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau responded. Trudeau stated that Canada's current situation is not due to the United States. Canada's prosperity and strength are because we are Canadians. We control our own destiny. This is our country, and this is our future.
Evidently, in response to Trump's remarks, Trudeau gave no face to Trump at all. In fact, when Trump claimed that "Canada is surviving only because of the United States," he also said that Canada is taking too much advantage from us. They should be grateful. However, I watched your prime minister's speech yesterday, and he showed no sign of gratitude. Obviously, Trump's so-called idea that Canada should be grateful to the United States means that Canada must offer real benefits in return to the United States.
Of course, Trudeau did not give any leeway to Trump at all. Trump claimed that Canada is taking advantage of the United States, which is absurd for Canada. As one of America's most loyal allies, Canada has been extremely supportive of the United States. In order to contain China, Canada once turned against us, illegally detained Meng Wanzhou. To comply with the U.S. containment policy, Canada imposed a 100% tax on our new energy vehicles. On issues such as Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, Canada has previously colluded with the United States.
Regarding the South China Sea issue, Canada has repeatedly cooperated with the United States to stir up regional tensions. Canada is loyal to the United States, but what has it gained? When Canada worked so hard to cooperate with the United States, sacrificing its own interests, the United States didn't even acknowledge Canada's efforts. Instead, it took Canada as a target on the tariff issue, threatening to annex Canada. Now, Trump claims that Canada owes the United States, which is nothing short of a big joke. Now, Canada has clearly realized that the current United States is really heartless and is not Canada's elder brother, but rather an object of vigilance for Canada. The development of US-Canada relations to this point is entirely due to Trump!
