Trump: Canada 'Exists Because of the US,' Should Be 'Grateful'

US President Donald Trump stated today in Davos that its northern neighbor, Canada, "exists because of the US" and should be "grateful." These statements come after a speech by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who spoke of a "rupture" in the world order. Trump claimed that Canada receives many benefits from the US without expressing adequate gratitude, criticizing the lack of gratitude from the Canadian Prime Minister. Furthermore, Trump assured that he will build the "Golden Dome," the US missile defense system, which, he said, will also protect Canada. These statements reinforce Trump's previous reports about his desire to turn Canada into the 51st state of the US. These statements are expected to further escalate tensions between the two countries, given the already tense atmosphere created by trade disputes and other political differences.
