Brussels responds to Trump that the plan to strengthen ties with Canada "is not against anyone"
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened the European Union with "very high tariffs" and trade restrictions if Brussels acts "in bad faith," as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced yesterday, making Canada the first associate member.
The European Commission has made it clear to US President Donald Trump that his intention to strengthen the relationship with Canada "is not against anyone." The US president threatened the EU bloc to impose tariffs or directly suspend trade following the announcement made yesterday by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
"As our president (Ursula von der Leyen) made clear yesterday, the proposal to strengthen the relationship with Canada is not against anyone, but in favour of our common strength," European Trade spokesman Oloff Gill said.
In his speech, the Chief Executive of the European Union proposed that Canada be the "first EU associate member" in Strasbourg during his State of the Union address to the European Parliament, and the White House's strong reaction soon arrived.
Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney, was the guest of honour at the meeting, which was greeted with applause and is scheduled to speak to the European Parliament this Thursday.
