U.S. President Donald Trump is criticizing Canada’s positions on Greenland and China, capping a week in which he and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney laid out their visions for international affairs before global leaders.

“Canada is against The Golden Dome being built over Greenland, even though The Golden Dome would protect Canada,” Trump said on Truth Social on Jan. 23. “Instead, they voted in favor of doing business with China, who will ‘eat them up’ within the first year!”
