Canadian PM Warns Trump [semi-satire]

Citing Canada's plans to recognize a Palestinian state and the persistence of fentanyl smuggling over the border, President Trump imposed a 35% tariff on goods shipped into the US from Canada. "As it is now, Hamas bombards Israel whenever it wants to," Trump asserted. "Establishing it as a Palestinian state will only worsen the situation. Canada needs to be more responsible."

Prime Minister Mark Carney took offense, saying "Canada's government is making historic investments in border security to arrest drug traffickers, take down transnational gangs, and end migrant smuggling. These include thousands of new law enforcement and border security officers, aerial surveillance, intelligence and security operations, and the strongest border legislation in our history."

"You know, the 5,525 mile border between our two counties is the longest undefended border in the world," Carney pointed out. "If Israel will be endangered by its 40 mile border with a hostile Palestine what does Trump think will happen if the US is bordered by a hostile Canada? Islamic terrorists could easily fly to Canada and illegally enter the US anywhere along those 5,525 miles. Currently, we cooperate with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to help spot intercontinental ballistic missiles coming over the North Pole from Russia. What if we didn't? Maybe Trump would like to reconsider using tariffs to bully us?"

That sounds more like a threat to me than a warning. Carney would do well to govern his tongue.

Did I miss something here?

Carney seems to have missed the point. Trump’s tariff wasn’t about Canada’s border security—it was a direct response to Canada recognizing a Palestinian state, which Trump links to empowering Hamas. Carney may have wanted to reframe it as a border issue to deflect from Canada’s foreign policy stance, but Trump was clear: he sees recognition of Palestine as aiding terrorism, not as a border problem.
