Trump says that the United States makes Canada "live": "Remember that, Mark."

U.S.  In a speech he gave on Wednesday to the World Economic Forum, President Donald Trump directly addressed Prime Minister Mark Carney, stating that "Canada lives because of the United States." Yesterday, I watched your prime minister. Although they ought to be grateful to us, he was not as grateful. America is the reason Canada exists, Trump stated. "Mark, keep that in mind the next time you make statements," Following Carney's speech a day earlier, Trump addressed hundreds of world government and business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The remarks about Canada were made in the context of Trump's ongoing push for the United States to acquire Denmark's Greenland, a NATO ally that he claims the United States needs for "national security."

Trump stated, "This land on which we’re going to build the greatest golden dome ever built is all we want from Denmark for national and international security and to keep our very energetic and dangerous potential enemies at bay."

"We are constructing a golden dome that will, simply by its very nature, defend Canada." By the way, Canada receives a lot of freebies from us. They ought to be thankful as well, but they aren't."

Even though Carney's speech at the WEF did not specifically mention Trump, he did emphasize Canada's support for Denmark and Greenland as they make their own decisions about the future. In his speech, Carney stated, "We stand firmly with Greenland and Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland's future." "Canada calls for focused talks to achieve our shared objectives of security and prosperity in the Arctic" and "strongly opposes tariffs over Greenland."

After hearing Trump's remarks about Canada and Greenland in his speech on Wednesday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford gave a speech. We have witnessed President Trump's threats to Canada and Greenland over the past few days. Allies in NATO have been threatened. Ford stated, "President Trump continues to relentlessly pursue his campaign to create a world that is more unstable, unsafe, and uncertain." "The need for Team Canada to remain united has never been greater."
