Obnews International Desk: Canada G7 is preparing to host the meeting of foreign ministers, where the risks to Canada-US trade disputes and sovereignty remain important issues. Canadian Foreign Minister Melani Jolie Jolie plans to express his concerns about the American tariff and trade struggle, although the official agenda of the meeting will be mainly focused on matters to Ukraine, Middle East, Haiti and Venezuela.
US President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminum from Canada, increasing commercial tension between the two countries. The decision has a serious impact on the Canadian economy. In response, Canada has also implemented tariffs on US $ 20 billion US products in response.
Jolie made a strong statement about the trade war, in which she called Trump's tariff “an excuse to put economic pressure”. He alerted European and British leaders, saying, “If the US can do this with its nearest colleague, no one is safe.” His statement highlights the need for a collective response against Trump's business policies.
Beyond the trade tariff, questions are also being raised about the sovereignty of Canada. Trump's several comments have been seen as a danger to his sovereignty in Canada. He even said that Canada should make the US 51st state, which spread deep concern between the government and the public there.

He committed to take strict steps to prevent any possible occupation of Canada and Greenland. Carney warned that the US wants to capture Canada's resources, water sources, land and sovereignty, and if this happens it would be disastrous for the Canadian lifestyle.

He said that democracy, freedom and even the existence of Canada is not a naturally found thing, but there is a need to make continuous efforts to maintain it. His words gave a clear and strong message to the importance of Canadian sovereignty.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio did not pay attention to Donald Trump's merger of Canada's merger, saying that Trump actually wants to make Canada financially 51st state of America. According to Rubio, if this happens, it will be easier to deal with problems like border security and fennel. He also clarified that the aim of the G7 meeting is not to capture Canada, but to strengthen trade and international relations.
