An interesting soundbite from Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) President Mike Froman who distills down the main point of contention. Essentially, the U.S. position is to demand a common trade approach toward China and the U.S. delegation gave Canada an ultimatum within the deal proposed, us or them.
If Mike Froman is correct, Mark Carney chose China. [X LINK] Video Below:

Good luck to this globalist POS. May his nation enjoy their position as China’s vassals.
We are vassals to the Senate and House, to Johnson and Thune. Now that is pathetic!
I think that is an interesting take.
Have you been reading my website?
Carney is carrying out his EU/WEF mission to destroy Canada economically. When the proverbial 💩 hits the fan, he’ll scurry off to join his fellow scumbags in Europe.
Thank you for outlining the key steps required to preserve legal privilege.
To heck with negations dialog deals with canada. Close the border with canada no cross border traffic of any kind. No more defense shield no more intel sharing no more! For decades all we have ever had from experts is talk talk talk and talk, things never seem to change except globalist gain more control of our country.
Canada is playing the same stupid game as iran, wait Trump out.
We have to defend them or we’ll have China and Russia in the Western hemisphere.
Disagree: PDJT’s message is defend yourselves or suffer the consequences….he’s not playing.
Trump will be gone in two years and then the dems can take over and reverse everything. Canada may even get reparations!
Their demographic will soon become Canasian.
The damage to their economy might be very significant and will harm them for years.
Assuming they do not become part of the United States.
Cool. Now let’s see Canada defend that supply line.
China con Carney may make the next two years interesting to say the least. Carney keeps backing them further into a corner. Even a mouse comes out swinging. Spit
First there was North Korea and to a degree South East Asia….now there is Hu Flung Chum Canada. The Dragon is smiling….and just when they were on the ropes too…..imagine that.
What Cold War planner could have imagined the EU and Canada would kneel to the Dragon?
Gotta smart some to the nose in the air Canucks that they are selling their future to Chinese take out chicken fried rice.
China is casting a wide net. They have fishing fleets all over the world including both polar regions. That is a huge problem for the island nations of the Pacific in particular. Intelligence ships off the northern and western coasts of Australia. They are aggressively pursuing the Arctic shipping lanes for better access to Europe.
Even Africa is being targeted for mining and other uses.
Wonder how much it’s going to cost to change all the signage in Ottawa to display in English, French & Mandarin?
JMO.
“Charney chose china.”?
It is King Charles who is encouraging Canada’s close ties to China, an enemy of the USA.
Yup, it is becoming more evident every day, Canada and China are King Charles’ surrogates in his dangerous sneak attack on President Trump and the USA.
President Trump has known this since before 2024 and is taking the necessary actions to protect American’s and America, aka the tariffs and exposing Canada’s lack of NATO support.
He also knows that the “5-eyes in UK” were a large part of the democrat / RINO’s 2021 coup d’état against our Constitutional Republic, our Constitution and also our President Trump.
King Charles is delusional ……. and could be dangerous.
He has taking the loss of his Big New Green Scam in 2024 very hard ….. and has the ear of the treasonous American clown Al Gore to try to use the criminal remnants of the obama / biden traitors to form an attack from within the walls of the USA.
President Trump has already warned that the enemies within the walls are extremely dangerous ….. if not the most dangerous to the USA.
Cleaning up the election fraud, especially in the blue states, is now, more than ever, a national security concern.
With the new dangers raised by the possible King Charles’ coordination with the treasonous democrats / RINOs in the continental United States, should the DEFCON level be raised to clean up the blue state commie cells, eliminating the election fraud.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Carney, another punk who suffers from that short man syndrome. That asshole will have all those Canadians sucking on that Chinese ass.
.
Canada made their choice a long time ago. I remember Chinese “troops” in Canada when Justin was semi-king.
Protect your rice bowl, Carney. It’s mighty hard to eat your watery rice with rat droppings and maggots if you don’t have a bowl.
