100 percent tariffs threatened: Trump is now targeting Canada over China deals

If the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney If he believes that he wants to make Canada a “transshipment point” for China so that Chinese goods come to the USA, he is very wrong. Trump called Carney “governor” – he has long repeatedly portrayed Canada as a US federal state. A governor leads a federal state. After taking office, Trump publicly stated several times his intention to make Canada a US federal state.

Carney wants to free the country from dependence on the USA

At the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos this week, Carney gave a well-received speech in which he called on small and medium-sized states to oppose the arbitrariness of the big powers by breaking away from their dependence on them. “It is not only economically sensible to diversify internationally. It is the material basis of a sincere foreign policy,” emphasized the former British and Canadian central bank governor. “States acquire the right to maintain a principled stance when they reduce their vulnerability to retaliation.”

Carney recently traveled to Beijing and then announced more cooperation with China. Both sides agreed on concrete steps in trade. According to a statement from the Canadian government, Ottawa withdrew some of its tariffs on Chinese electric cars. In return, China agreed to reduce trade barriers for Canadian agricultural products such as rapeseed. Carney also took a stand against the USA in the Greenland conflict and made it clear that he wanted to support Denmark in the event of a military attack as part of the NATO assistance obligation.
