Donald Trump has said China would ‘eat Canada alive’ and terminate ‘ALL ice hockey’ within the country in the event that they make a trade deal.
In a rambling post on Truth Social, the US President said Canada has treated the US ‘very unfairly’ for a long time.
‘On top of every little thing else, Prime Minister Carney desires to make a take care of China, which is able to eat Canada alive,’ he said.
‘The very first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.’
China would don’t have any power to eliminate ice hockey or the Stanley Cup, even in the event that they make a trade take care of Canada.
He also slammed the country for opening a bridge between Ontario and Michigan, which Canadians funded, but Trump said there was ‘No US consent’.
‘I won’t allow this bridge to open until the US is fully compensated for every little thing we have now given them, and in addition, importantly, Canada treats the US with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve,’ he rambled.
‘We are going to start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have now given them, we must always own, perhaps, at the very least half of this asset.’
Though the development is funded by Canada, it can be publicly owned by each Canada and the state of Michigan.
The bridge, constructed using each American and Canadian steel, is resulting from open within the upcoming months and can link Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan.
The mayor of Windsor, Drew Dilkens, told the CBC that Trump’s post was ‘insane’.
‘I actually can’t imagine what I’m reading. The faster we are able to get to the midterms and hopefully see a change, the higher for all of us,’ he said.
Trump appears to be upset over the bridge opening due to Ontario’s ban on American alcoholic beverage imports.
But in 2017, he called the bridge an ‘expeditious completion’ and praised its construction alongside then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said: ‘I explained that Canada, after all, paid for the development of the bridge, over $4 billion; that the ownership is shared between the state of Michigan and the federal government of Canada; and that in the development of the bridge, obviously there’s Canadian steel, Canadian staff, but additionally US steel, US staff which might be involved.’
