German Chancellor Olaf Sholts has supported the confrontation with Canadian Donald Trump, against the background of customs tariffs and the statements that the country should become a new US state. This was reported by Bloomberg.
"Canada is a proud, independent country. We are with you, "Scholts said. Expressing a broader disagreement with US policy, Sholts criticized the tariffs that the Trump administration plans to set against Europe.
"Such a step will lead to retaliatory funds and worsen the situation on both sides. That's why I tell the United States that cooperation remains Europe's purpose. But if the United States does not leave us, we will respond to the European Union as a whole, "said the German Chancellor.
