Trump Warns Starmer: Engaging with China is Dangerous
As soon as Starmer arrived in China, Trump's threats came immediately.
On the 30th, Trump issued a threat regarding British Prime Minister Starmer's visit to China, saying that Starmer's resumption of contact with China was "very dangerous."
Then Trump mentioned Canada, stating that Canada's engagement with China was "even more dangerous," and if China "took over" Canada, Canadians would no longer be allowed to play ice hockey.
It should be said that Trump's absurd response almost confirms a previous report by U.S. media: Slovak Prime Minister Fico openly stated at an EU internal meeting that Trump's mental state had become "very dangerous" — after all, a normal person would not say such nonsense as "after China takes over Canada, Canadians won't be allowed to play ice hockey."
More absurdly, while Trump warned Britain and Canada not to get too close to China, he said nothing about U.S.-China trade relations — if normal exchanges with China are considered "dangerous," then what about the large number of goods the U.S. imports from China every year and its reliance on the supply chain?
From a deeper perspective, Trump's series of arrogant and unreasonable statements may be seen as an attempt to build a more open vassal system, where Western allies other than the United States must surrender their foreign policy sovereignty, and everything must be approved by the U.S. president, otherwise it would be considered "disobedience" and face punishment from the U.S.
