The Canadian ambassador to France says that the threats of the president of the United States Donald Trump to invade another country violates international law.
“I just say that to respect international law, do not threat to your neighbors by invasion,” said Stéphane Dion.
Trump has said that he would not rule out the use of military force to take care of Greenland, which is part of Denmark.
Trump said again on Sunday that he wants to see Canada become an American state, after they asked him about the recent comments of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying that Trump is not joking.
In response to a question about Greenland, Dion said that such threats are not normal and violate the UN letter. He said that it is not only international law invading another country, but also threatening to do so.
The president of the United States also said on Sunday that he will formally announce 25 percent tariffs on all imports of steel and aluminum on Monday, even from Canada.

He made the comments like Trudeau is in Paris to attend the global summit on artificial intelligence. On Sunday night after a dinner with French president Emmanuel Macron, Trudeau did not answer journalists’ questions about Trump’s statements.
Dion said Canada and European countries are working on a cohesive strategy to address tariff threats in the United States.
“Canada and Mexico are the first, but Europeans know that they can also be attacked. We are anticipating that. They are working with us on how we can have a cohesive way of convincing the US administration that commercial wars are painful for everyone … and not something to do among friends. “
The United States vice president, JD Vance, is also in Paris for AI’s action summit, but it is not clear if he will meet with Trudeau, since no meeting has been announced to date.
Both Canada and Mexico received at least 30 -day refunds from the Trump -based tariff threat that took place last week.
On Wednesday, Trudeau will travel to Brussels to meet with EU leaders, which could offer Canada the opportunity to underpin their relationship with the European Union in the context of Trump’s threats.
Dion told reporters on Canada Monday that it will not succeed in commercial diversification unless that effort includes Europe.
“Now that we see that unfortunately for now at least the administration of the United States is not as reliable as we think, without respecting the treaties as we thought, we need Europeans and Canadians to work close together,” said Dion.
