Shafaq News/ Canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau dismissed US President-elect Donald Trump's remarks aboutannexing Canada into the United States, affirming that Canadians are “incrediblyproud” of their identity.
In an interview with CNN, Trudeau,who announced earlier this week his plans to step down as prime minister afterhis party selects a successor, said, “This is not going to happen,” confirming thatCanadians “are incredibly proud of being Canadian. One of the ways we defineourselves most easily is, well, we’re not American.”
Trudeau described President Trump asa "very skillful negotiator" but noted that he “is getting people tobe somewhat distracted by that, by that conversation, to take away from theconversation around 25% tariffs on oil and gas and electricity and steel andaluminum and lumber and concrete.”
In November, Trump pledgedsignificant tariff increases on goods from Mexico, Canada, and China, set totake effect on his first day in office.
“Everything the American consumersbuy from Canada is suddenly going to get a lot more expensive if he movesforward on these tariffs,” Trudeau explained.
When asked if Trump’s re-election influenced his decision to resign, he responded, “No,on the contrary, what we were able to do during the first presidency of Mr.Trump was work together in a very challenging situation to come out with a verystrong win, win in Canada-US relations,” Trudeau said, referring to the UnitedStates-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
“I’m looking forward to continuingto work with him for the next two months.”
