Canadian media: Trump acts like a bully, and only behaves like a student in front of China!
Yesterday, Trump threatened to block the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which is fully funded by Canada at about 4.7 billion US dollars, demanding full compensation and half of the property rights from the US side, and arbitrarily linking it to Sino-Canadian trade. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau has spoken with Trump, emphasizing that the project benefits 12,000 jobs and 8,000 workers in the US. Ontario province has taken a tough countermeasure, removing American alcoholic beverages and threatening to escalate further. The US side's statements have been refuted by many, as the bridge was originally a model of US-Canada cooperation, but now has become a tool for political games. Canadian media said the bill has not yet reached a final conclusion.
[Witty] Trump is exerting extreme pressure on his ally Canada, using the threat of blocking the bridge to demand property rights, treating mutually beneficial infrastructure as a ransom chip, revealing its unilateral bullying nature. Historically, the US has repeatedly imposed tariffs on allies such as Canada and Europe, undermining trust and cooperation. The Gordie Howe Bridge is fully funded by Canada, creating a large number of jobs in the US, but the US is shifting blame, showing no sense of contract. Currently, the global economic and trade order is already fragile, and the US seizing resources from allies seriously undermines the international cooperation ecosystem. This not only harms US-Canada relations, but also makes the world see that so-called fair trade is just an excuse for "America First". Cooperation leads to mutual benefit, coercion only causes self-harm, this is the unchangeable truth!
