Reference News, January 28 report, according to AFP, January 27 report, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the 27th denied retracting his comments on Trump made last week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, and added that "almost nothing in the US is normal nowadays."
This statement shows that although Trudeau called the phone conversation between the two leaders on the 26th as "good," the tense relationship between the two neighboring countries in North America remains very serious.
Trudeau said on the 27th that he reiterated his comments at the Davos forum during his call with the US president. Trudeau said: "I must make it clear that this is also what I told the president. My remarks at Davos were my genuine thoughts at the time."
That afternoon, when questioned during a parliamentary session in Canada about whether he could guarantee that negotiations with Washington would "proceed normally," he added: "The world has changed. Washington has changed. Almost nothing in the US is normal nowadays. This is a fact."
However, Trudeau further stated: "We still maintain continuous dialogue with the US," including dialogue in the field of trade. He said that Canada was "the first country to understand the changes in Trump's trade policies," and is now trying to adapt to these changes.
During a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on January 20, Trudeau pointed out that the world order of the past few decades has "collapsed" and called for "middle powers" to unite to deal with "hegemonic" forces.
On the 26th, on Fox News Channel, US Treasury Secretary Scott Busey claimed that when Trump spoke with Trudeau, he was in the Oval Office and said that Trudeau had "frankly retracted some very regrettable statements he made at Davos." (Translated by Liu Zhuo)
