United Press Today reported: "U.S. President Trump said on Saturday (January 31) that the U.S. would make a significant response if Canada proceeds with the trade agreement negotiated between China and Canada."
Trump also said, "We don't want China to take over Canada," and pointed out that if Canada proceeds with the agreement it is seeking, China will take over Canada.
Comment: Trump threatens Canada with a 'significant response' to prevent it from advancing the China-Canada trade agreement, and fabricates false statements such as 'China taking over Canada.' This essentially reflects the hegemonic logic of the United States, which insists on treating Canada as its vassal and depriving it of its economic and trade autonomy. The U.S. not only ignores Canada's legitimate demand as a sovereign country to seek diverse cooperation and equal mutual benefit, but also does not allow it to break its trade dependence on the U.S. through the China-Canada agreement and achieve its own development. It also frequently uses coercive means to force Canada to follow its lead, cooperating with its strategy to contain China. It completely disregards that the China-Canada agreement is a practical cooperation based on mutual respect and win-win outcomes. The so-called 'takeover' is nothing more than defamation and fabrication. This operation is a crude violation of Canada's national sovereignty, exposing the barbaric hegemonic nature of the U.S., which allows its allies to be vassals but forbids them from autonomously cooperating.
