Trump: Only China is doing well! The EU and Canada are all no good.
On the 29th local time, during an interview with Fox News, Trump stated that he was unhappy with the EU and Canada. However, when talking about the US-China tariffs, he said he was getting along very well with China. During the interview, he refuted and downplayed all the slanderous remarks against China, making the host's attempts to provoke him ineffective. So why did the EU and Canada make Trump unhappy? Let's start with Canada. What Canada has been doing recently is quite foolish. First, it recklessly imposed a digital services tax on American companies, which enraged Trump. He insisted on ending all negotiations with Canada and unilaterally set the tariff rate for Canada, without any room for discussion. This attitude seemed to immediately downgrade Canada to the 51st state. Such a posture quickly made Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau kneel in surrender, and the next day, he quickly announced that canceling the digital tax would be beneficial for resuming negotiations between the two countries and striving to reach an agreement by July 21. That lowly and respectful demeanor of presenting himself as the governor of the 51st state was truly a vivid portrayal. Why did you have to do this in the first place? Didn't you know your own strength?
When talking about U.S. foreign trade negotiations, Trump said that the EU was very "difficult to deal with," and the current trade negotiations were full of difficulties, but the U.S. still had many cards to play. Perhaps as one of the world's three major economies, the EU realized that East Asia was fighting hard with the U.S., but the U.S. actually backed down. The EU thought they could also gain more benefits like East Asia. This attempt to imitate East Asia really disgusted Trump. Previously, the EU had always been inciting Sino-U.S. relations, trying to profit from the situation, constantly adding fuel to the fire. Who would have thought that China and the U.S. would first cease hostilities and reconcile, leaving the EU exposed. Trump thought, don't you look at yourself? Do you have the cards that East Asia has? Don't you know your own limits?
