Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said that she did not believe that the relationship between Canada and the United Kingdom had changed after the British Prime Minister had comments during a visit to the White House.
At a press conference in Vancouver on Friday, Joly said: “No country on earth will be able to share Canada and Great Britain.”
“It is only in our DNA near Great Britain,” she said, noticing that she was in contact with British Foreign Minister David Lammy and the national security consultant Jonathan Powell.
“At the same time, we have to work together to tackle the unpredictability that comes from the White House.”
When US President Donald Trump continues to undermine Canadian sovereignty, Canada tried to strengthen his relationship with historical allies such as Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
Since the beginning of his second term, Trump has repeatedly threatened that Canada became a “51st state”, and described Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “governor”.
Joly’s comments come a day after British Prime Minister Keir Starrer insisted that the United States and the United Kingdom have good conditions.
At a press conference during the visit of the White House of the White House in the White House on Thursday, a journalist asked the Prime Minister whether King Charles got concerned about Trump’s latest statements about the Appendix Canada.
But the Prime Minister evaluated the question and accused the journalist, “trying to find a gap between us that does not exist”.
Starer brought Trump an invitation from the king to visit Balmoral, a royal property and concluded in Scotland.
“We are the closest nations and had very good discussions today. But we didn’t talk about Canada,” said Strandmer when the president interrupted him and said: “That is enough.”
Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said on Friday that the countries will find out what the change in the US leadership means for the world. The British Prime Minister Keir Starrer played the 51st state threats of President Donald Trump against Canada on Thursday during a joint press conference.
Roland Paris, a former foreign policy advisor of Trudeau, described Starerer’s response to the question of Canada unhappily.
“Mr. Starrer could easily have said that something like Canada is a sovereign nation,” said Paris. “Instead, he only took the opportunity to say that there was no difference between his position and Donald Trump’s position.”
After a positive discussion with the president, Paris did not seem to “ruin the mood”, said Paris, but the result was that the British Prime Minister “threw Canada under the bus”.
“Trump has created an environment in which there is so much uncertainty that the countries are trying to secure their own interests,” said Paris. “You don’t really pay much attention to the interests of other countries.”
In an event with the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade earlier on Friday, Joly found that she had warned her European colleagues about Trump’s potential threats and told them that Canada was the “Canaria father in a coal mine”.
After Trump threatened tariffs in the European Union, Joly said that she “wrote to all of her and I said:” I told you. “” “
