周三，华盛顿和渥太华之间的口水战愈演愈烈，特朗普总统指责贾斯汀·特鲁多利用关税闹剧“继续掌权”。此前，特朗普与加拿大总理通了电话，双方进行了激烈交锋。
特朗普再次将加拿大领导人称为“州长”，这符合他声称美国北方邻国成为美国第 51 个州会更好的说法。
他还在自己的 Truth Social 账户上大肆抨击特鲁多，指责其“薄弱的边境政策”，称其导致毒品和非法移民“涌入美国”。
特朗普在 Truth Social 上写道：“加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多打电话给我，询问关税问题。我告诉他，许多人因通过加拿大和墨西哥边境流入的芬太尼而死亡，没有什么能让我相信这种现象已经停止。”
他补充道，“他说情况已经好转了，但我说‘这还不够好’。通话以‘某种程度’友好的方式结束！他无法告诉我加拿大大选何时举行，这让我很好奇，想知道这里发生了什么？然后我意识到他正试图利用这个问题来继续掌权。祝你好运，贾斯汀！”
President Trump has accused Justin Trudeau of using the drama over tariffs to “stay in power,” following an explosive phone call with the Canadian prime minister as the war of words between Washington and Ottawa heated up on Wednesday.
Trump once again branded Canada’s leader “Governor” — a nod to his claim that America’s northern neighbor would be better off as America’s 51st state — in the blistering broadside.
He also slammed Trudeau for presiding over “Weak Border Policies,” that he said had led to drugs and illegal immigrants “pour[ing] into the United States,” in a rant on his Truth Social account.
“Justin Trudeau, of Canada, called me to ask what could be done about Tariffs. I told him that many people have died from Fentanyl that came through the Borders of Canada and Mexico, and nothing has convinced me that it has stopped,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“He said that it’s gotten better, but I said, ‘That’s not good enough.’ The call ended in a ‘somewhat’ friendly manner! He was unable to tell me when the Canadian Election is taking place, which made me curious, like, what’s going on here? I then realized he is trying to use this issue to stay in power. Good luck Justin!” he added.
