Former President Donald Trump’s latest salvo against Canada packs a punch: stray toward China, and face being ‘eaten alive’ in a year. This came hot on the heels of kicking Prime Minister Mark Carney off the Board of Peace, amid clashes over Arctic security.
In a Truth Social post, Trump decried Canada’s stance against the Golden Dome—a missile defense marvel inspired by Iron Dome, earmarked for Greenland. Despite its benefits for Canadian safety, Ottawa prioritized pro-China trade votes, drawing Trump’s ire.
The Arctic’s melting ice opens new frontiers, where U.S. superiority is key to thwarting rivals, Trump argued. Echoing Davos, he credited America’s shield for Canada’s very existence—a point Carney contested with pride in Canadian resilience.
‘Our U.S. ties are vital, yet Canada stands tall on its own merits,’ Carney said, eyeing shifts in global power dynamics. Trump’s rebuttal? Immediate ouster from the Board of Peace, now featuring allies like Israel, Bahrain, UAE, Egypt, Pakistan, and 20 others.
This high-stakes drama exposes fault lines in longstanding alliances. With trade wars and territorial ambitions intensifying, Trump’s ultimatum forces Canada to choose sides. The implications stretch from polar outposts to boardrooms worldwide.
