'Canada lives because of the U.S.,' Trump says during Davos speech. 'Remember that, Mark'
Speaking to a crowd at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump took aim at Mark Carney and Canada amid ongoing tensions between the two countries.
“Canada gets a lot of freebies from us by the way,” he said, after mentioning the U.S. plan to build a missile defence system called the Golden Dome. “They should be grateful also but they’re not.”
Trump said he watched Carney’s address at the forum on Tuesday. “He wasn’t so grateful,” said Trump. “They should be grateful to us, Canada — but they’re not. Canada lives because of the unites states. Remember that Mark, the next time you make your statements.”
Trump continued on about what the U.S. did for Israel, likely a reference to a ceasefire plan that brought an end to the Israel-Hamas war. “But that’s nothing compared to what we have planned for the United States, Canada and the rest of the world. We are going to build a dome like no other.”
The World Economic Forum takes place annually in Davos, attended by world leaders, to discuss global issues.
