The concept of Trump blowing up his Canadian speech is just a brief fantasy
There is insufficient speculation about how U.S. President Donald Trump's comments on Canada affect the federal election.
It's time to start asking a new, long-term question: about how his attitude will affect Canada's election on Monday.
It seems increasingly obvious now that Trump's desire for expansionism is not a brief fantasy. He kept quiet for a while, leading some to doubt whether he would take it out of his system – maybe he was just dragging it (Justin Trudeau).
But in recent days, the president has been outspoken in his different encounters with the media, and he is very eager to see Canada become a state.
lest anyone thinks he might be joking, he makes it clear that he is not. Time Magazine Ask him In an interview: Maybe when talking about Canada being the 51st state, you're kind of dragging too.
“Actually, no, I'm not,” he told the time in an interview Tuesday, and posted on Friday.
“I'm not really trolling. Canada is an interesting case. … The way I say this really works is to become a state.”
He repeated his often-speaking claims about the U.S. subsidies to Canada, recounting the numbers that seem to bring Trade deficitCanada's insufficient spending defense And exaggerated the sum.
Asked if he wanted to develop the American empire as part of his talk about the canals of Canada, Greenland and Panama, Trump replied: “If we have the right chance. Yes.”
When asked if he wanted to be remembered as the president who expanded the U.S. territory, he replied: “Don’t mind.”
Party leaders responded to U.S. President Donald Trump’s new claims on Canadian sovereignty and the automotive industry. The next day, we had the latest work of the reporter. In addition, how do these platforms compare housing? We asked two experts to conduct a review.
One of Washington's most connected Canadians said at this point, assuming the president is just kidding. After all, Trump even put his desire for territorial expansion in his inaugural speech.
“No one would say anything over and over again without believing in a few months of this nature,” said Eric Miller, an international trade adviser in Washington, Canada-U.S. relations adviser.
He said Trump believes in two things: Under the current economic arrangements, the United States does not need Canada, and he hopes he can get it.
Miller said how, when, under what conditions and how he decided to do it to achieve this – all of that is unclear.
“I don't think there is a master plan right now saying, 'In three months from now, we're going to do X, six months from now, we're going to do Y.”
“But the wish is obviously there. … Of course, this will be the top priority for the next prime minister.
“It will be a problem and the next administration in Canada will have to monitor. They will have to evaluate President Trump's intentions over time, as his interests and intentions may develop over time.”
The challenge of Canada's next government
There will be early links between the next administration and Trump. For beginners, G7 Summit June in Alberta. These countries will also enter full Trade and security negotiations.
There was a time when these events might not belittle Trump’s demeanor and question Canada’s sovereignty seemed justified.
After all, he has stopped talking about Canada as the 51st state since Mark Carney replaced Trudeau as prime minister and Liberal leader last month.
Carney said after the first call that Trump respected Canada's sovereignty during the conversation. But it turns out that there is more to this story.
Liberal leader Mark Carney quickly attacked after U.S. President Donald Trump raised the idea of Canada's 51st state in a call last month, after Carney previously called a “constructive” dialogue between two sovereign states.
The first sign is that it is just a temporary pause in his rhetoric, which is the comment from the White House press secretary: Karoline Leavitt told a CBC reporter that Trump still believes in making Canada a state.
Then he Say it again To other journalists in the Oval Office. Then, when asked, Time magazine was published again, insisting that he wasn't kidding.
This week, Radio Canada reported that despite Carney's public statement – Trump It's indeed mentioned Made Canada the 51st state on their phone last month.
When asked about the differences during the campaign, Carney insisted that he was not saying Trump respected Canadian sovereignty. Liberal leaders say they have talked as two sovereign states.
Still, in response to Friday’s question about the time interview, Carney acknowledged some changes have occurred between the countries.
“The president's latest comment is more proof that it's like we need anything, we've ended our old relationship with the United States,” the liberal leader told reporters in Sault Ste. Mary, Ontario, who used a line for the first time last month.
“It's proof, it's a reminder, it's a call to draw a new path. It's a new reality.”
Mark Carney desperately tries to Trump’s call to desperately try to spread the lost cost of liberalism and criminal liberalism decade and trick Canadians into granting liberals a fourth term.
Carney's entire campaign was based on lies. If he lies about it, he will lie…
Embarrassing G7 incoming
What is yet to be determined is whether or not to manage Trump’s desire after Monday’s election is Carney’s challenge.
But then they will be busy soon, preparing for the highly unusual G7. On Canadian land, Trump is their guest.
Miller's advice? In public comments, Trump is welcome to Canada. Don't bring him back to the corner publicly. In private situations, clear consequences have obvious consequences on the threat of Canadian sovereignty.
At the same time, cooperate with other G7 countries. Miller made a panel statement reaffirming the principle of national sovereignty. Then issue the statement with or without a US signature.
