Trump Slams Canada Over Greenland Missile Shield, China Ties: 'Will Eat Them Up'
- •Donald Trump criticized Canada for opposing his proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system in Greenland, claiming it would protect Canada.
- •Trump accused Canada of undermining its security by deepening economic ties with China, stating China would "eat them up."
- •The remarks followed Canadian PM Mark Carney's visit to Beijing to reset economic ties, resulting in tariff reductions and EV quotas.
- •Trump asserted Canada's security depends entirely on the US and that Canada receives "freebies" from the US.
- •Canadian officials, including PM Carney and UN Ambassador Bob Rae, have pushed back, rejecting US dependency and likening the Golden Dome proposal to a "protection racket."
Why It Matters: Trump escalated rhetoric against Canada, linking its opposition to a Greenland missile shield with its China ties.
