Trump criticizes Canada-EU pact; Carney dismisses threats
U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Canada's potential associate membership with the European Union, calling it a "hostile act" and "laughable." Trump also threatened further tariffs. Canadian Finance Minister Mark Carney responded by stating that "no one is going to dictate Canada's choices" and that Canada would forge an "Alliance for the Future" with the EU. Some U.S. lawmakers reportedly challenged Trump's tariffs. The situation emerged as Trump had previously wanted Canada to become the 51st U.S. state.
