Canada and European countries are working on a cohesive strategy to address Trump’s tariff threats
Stephane Dion, Canada ’s Ambassador to France, and Monaco, and the Prime Minister’s Special Envoy to the EU and Europe, speaks to reporters at the Canadian Embassy in Paris, France on Feb. 10.“I’m just saying that in order to respect international law, you don’t threaten your neighbours by invasion,” Stéphane Dion said Monday at Canada ’s embassy in Paris, one day after Trump said he would impose 25 per cent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports — including imports from Canada .
In response to a question about Greenland, Dion said such threats are not normal and violate the UN Charter. He said that merely threatening to invade another country is a violation of international law. “Canada and Mexico are the first ones, but Europeans know that they may be targeted as well,” he said. “We’re anticipating that. They are working with us about how can we have a cohesive way to convince the U.S. administration that trade wars are painful for everyone … and not something that you should do between friends.”
