Trump threatens EU over 'hostile' plan to make Canada associate member

They need to offer it to Mexico too, just to really piss off Trump.

Then we can start referring to North America as "Western Europe". Just need someone to keep him distracted with a map and a sharpie

Especially because it'll divide the "patriots" from the white supremacists who want to be called "Western Europeans" for skin color and not European progressive policy.

Like, it's not hard to make a bunch of idiots start fighting each other.

Hostile to whom? Both Canada and the EU seem to be mutually friendly.

Can be tough when an ex is doing better than you post break up

When you start being a b**** to everyone around you, eventually people start walking.

This rhetoric seems familiar somehow...

How long until he starts complaining about "NATO bases near US borders"?

Miss you, Canada. But you're better off.

This really parallels the situation with Russia not wanting Ukraine to join the EU. Are we the baddies? Sadly, effectively, yes the current US administration are the baddies.

Trump threatens when you're friendly and cooperative with him. He threatens when you walk away. At this point it's just background noise.

Threatening to invade Canada: not hostile

Canadian cooperation with EU: hostile

I think the EU has been threatened by far better people.

The guy in war with the whole world speak about 'hostile'.

He would say: no one knows hostile better than me.

Freedom from USA is a new fight in a world. I hope that in the end no country will be dependent on USA, ever!

Trump wants to annex Canada. In his delusions he thought he could force it to happen by applying economic pressure despite everyone expect his inner circle of sycophants told him. Now that he's realizing that it's not going to happen he's throwing a tantrum.

He likes to throw threats around because his dementia makes him believe that if he says something and looks "threatening" enough everyone will obey but... what he's failing to realise he is the American version of the Roman emperor Nero and soon after the empire fell and even though he is "in charge" of one of the most powerful countries in the world he doesn't really have the power he believes he has.

People, just ignore Trump. There is a whole world to do business in/with.

The quoted 'hostile' in the headline seems like it should be part of what Trump said, but the article doesn't include any quote like that. This is all the Trump quotes it's got:

US President Donald Trump has threatened to cut trade with the EU or impose "very serious tariffs" after the bloc proposed to make Canada its first ever "associate member".

He called the prospect of Canada joining the EU “laughable” and called Canada a “terrible trade partner".

“If it’s a good intention, that’s fine. If it’s a bad intention, we’ll put very heavy tariffs on Europe,” Trump said.

Big talk from President Donald Mexico.

That crazy old dotard, trump, thinks the world has to go through him. That's what happens to your brain after being a degenerate pervert for so long.

Go ahead dumbass, keep punching yourself in the dick

He's gonna put them on double secret probation.

Really though, I can't wait to see what happens if Alberta leaves Canada, if they do Canada is so fucked.
