China will ‘eat up’ Canada
US President Donald Trump has claimed that China would “eat up” Canada
TL;DR
- Trump claims Canada opposes his Golden Dome missile defense system for Greenland.
- He believes Canada will be taken over by China if it doesn't cooperate with the US.
- Trump stated Canada should be grateful for US defense and 'lives because of the United States'.
- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected the idea that Canada owes its success to the US and noted a 'rupture' in the world order.
- Trump subsequently removed Carney from his 'Board of Peace'.
- Beijing denies seeking to undermine other countries' interests in the Arctic and calls the 'China threat' narrative groundless.
