U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is creating political turmoil with tariff threats and mockery attacks against Canada, which is struggling with its internal affairs, CNN reported.
CNN reported on the 18th local time that Trump has recently made a series of blatant disparaging remarks against Canada and Mexico, which are highly likely to interfere in domestic affairs.
This is a preview of Trump's belligerent strategy to shake the world for the success of his second administration before he takes office, CNN analyzed.
CNN warned that governments in other countries, such as France, Germany and South Korea, should also be wary of Trump's entry into the alliance's internal affairs due to political turmoil.
Recently, Trump has mocked sovereign and closest ally Canada as the 51st U.S. state and Canadian head of government Trudeau as governor.
Earlier, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned on the 16th after clashing with Prime Minister Trudeau over Trump's announced countermeasures against the 25% tariff imposition policy.
As a result, voices in Canada are growing against Prime Minister Trudeau's response policy and domestic conflicts are intensifying.
CNN predicts that Canada and Mexico are now Trump's targets, but that Trump is sure to turn his attention to other national trade issues that he considers unfair when he takes office next month.
As a result, CNN predicted, Trump will also try to create a domestic division in European countries, following Canada and Mexico.
