In a surprising turn of events, President-elect Donald Trump suggested he might use economic force to bring Canada into the United States during a media session on January 7. This bold claim has sparked reactions across the border.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded swiftly on January 9, labeling Trump's comments as a mere distraction from the real issue of tariff threats. Trudeau emphasized that such statements undermine the strong trade relationship between the two nations.
To get a pulse of public opinion, CGTN Stringer hit the streets of Canada. One resident expressed, \"Trump's comments are ridiculous,\" advocating for deeper cooperation between the U.S. and Canada given their long-standing trade history. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
As the dialogue between the two countries continues, it remains clear that collaboration and mutual respect are key to maintaining and strengthening their bond.
