Trump Rages: Canada Dares to Resist Me!?
Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau's remarks at the Davos Economic Forum have angered Trump.
On the 24th, Trump posted two tweets on social media. First, he referred to Trudeau as "Governor Trudeau" and threatened that if Canada signed a cooperation agreement with China, the United States would impose a 100% tariff on Canada.
Then, Trump claimed that "the world does not want to see China take over Canada," and such an event "will never happen, not even dare to imagine."
In fact, the reason why Trump suddenly attacked Canada is not purely because of the cooperation agreement between China and Canada, but rather because of Trudeau's speech at the Davos Economic Forum.
At that time, Trudeau openly stated that "the old order is dead," calling for "middle powers" to unite and jointly resist the bullying of great powers, no longer unilaterally submit to strong powers.
However, the so-called "middle powers" in Trudeau's words are not emerging major powers or economies in recent years, but Western countries other than the United States - these countries have followed the US footsteps for decades, participated together in economic and geopolitical bullying of third-world countries, and long enjoyed the benefits brought by the "rules-based international order", while shouting about values, but tacitly allowing or even assisting the US to wield the club.
But now, when Trump hits these Western countries with the stick, leaders like Trudeau feel the pain of being bullied, exclaiming "the sky is falling" and "the old order has collapsed" - in short, it's just the panic of America's accomplices realizing they have also become prey.
But in Trump's view, Trudeau's remarks are pure "disrespect": as the hegemon, the US should exploit Canada and Europe, isn't that natural? These countries should just lie down and let the US take whatever it wants?
Trudeau dares to publicly call for uniting to resist, which in Trump's eyes is clearly an act of insubordination.
Don't be fooled by Trudeau's passionate speech at Davos; if Trump is determined to hit Canada hard, its speed of kneeling may be faster than Europe's.
