Canada alert on g7 nation: Canada G7 is preparing to host the meeting of foreign ministers, where the threats hovering over Canada-America trade disputes and sovereignty remain important issues. Canadian Foreign Minister Melani Jolie Jolie plans to raise her concerns over the US tariff and trade war, while the official aged focuses on Ukraine, Middle East, Haiti and Venezuela.
After US President Donald Trump imposed 25 percent tariff on steel and aluminum to be imported from Canada, trade tension between the two countries has deepened. This trade war has made a serious impact on the Canadian economy, and in response, Canada has retaliated on US goods worth $ 20 billion.
Hungry statement about trade war
Jolie made a sharp statement about this trade war, in which he described Trump’s tariff as a “excuse for economic pressure”. He warned his European and British counterparts, “If America can do so with its closest friend, no one is safe.” This statement outlines the need for collective action in front of Trump’s trade policies.
Danger hovering on sovereignty
Apart from trade tariffs, the sovereignty of Canada is also being questioned. Trump has repeatedly made such comments that Canadian people have seen as a threat to his sovereignty. Trump spoke of making Canada the 51st American state, which has created deep concern between the Canadian government and the public.
Jolie clarified her concern over the issue and said that Canada would not back down in front of American pressure. He has emphasized the need to increase Canada’s military capacity and the need to increase cooperation with Europe on defense equipment, so that Canada can protect its sovereignty.
Mark Carney’s response
Canada’s Mark Carney has also termed Trump’s trade policies as “economic and sovereign crisis”. He has vowed strict action to prevent Canada and Greenland from occupying. Carney said, “American wants our resources, our water, our land, and our country. If they succeed, they will destroy our lifestyle.”
Outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also paid attention to the issue in his farewell speech. He said, “Democracy is not a gift. There is no freedom. Even Canada is not a gift.” These words of Trudeau gave a strong message on the issue of Canadian sovereignty.
American response
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, while underestimating Trump’s merger comments, said that Trump wants to make Canada an economically 51st state. He said, “If they become the 51st state, we will not have to worry about the border and the fennel because we will be able to manage it.” Rubio stressed that the objective of the G7 meeting is not a plan to capture Canada, but to focus on trade and international relations. However, Trump’s continuous views have brought relations between the two countries to the lowest level so far.
