Title: Trump Says Canada’s Move to Recognise Palestinian State Threatens Trade Deal
Washington, D.C. – July 31, 2025 | Inside NFL LIVE SCORES
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has openly denounced Canada’s recent decision to formally recognize the State of Palestine, a move that has sent shockwaves across diplomatic and economic channels. Trump cautioned at a news conference from his Mar-a-Lago home that such recognition may seriously jeopardize upcoming trade talks between the two North American countries.
“Canada is making a very dangerous move,” Trump declared. “Recognizing a Palestinian state without Israeli consent undermines peace efforts and could absolutely impact any trade deals we’re working on, including key agricultural and energy agreements.”
A Major Shift in Canadian Foreign Policy
Canada’s Prime Minister, Émilie Rousseau, announced earlier this week that the country will officially recognize Palestine as a sovereign state, citing humanitarian concerns, international law, and the failure of the peace process.
“We can no longer wait for a solution that may never come. Recognizing the Palestinian right to statehood is not just a political stance, it is a moral obligation,” Rousseau said in her address to Parliament.
The decision aligns Canada with a growing list of countries, including Norway, Ireland, and Spain, who have taken similar steps in recent months. This global momentum comes amid rising international outrage over the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and stalled peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine.
Trump’s Warning: ‘America Comes First’
Trump, who has been openly critical of any recognition of Palestinian statehood outside of Israeli negotiation, emphasized that any country pursuing such a route without Israeli agreement risks losing U.S. economic favor.
Trump sarcastically remarked, “They will have to do it without American wheat, oil, and investment if they want to stand with Hamas.”
Though no official from President Biden’s administration has echoed Trump’s rhetoric, the former president’s words carry significant weight among conservative lawmakers and key figures in American industry. Some Republican senators have already signaled support for Trump’s stance, suggesting punitive tariffs or freezes on bilateral agreements with Canada might be considered.
Economic Stakes: Trade Tensions Rise
One of the biggest trading partnerships in the world is between the US and Canada. With important industries like energy, autos, and agriculture serving as the foundation of this economic partnership, cross-border commerce topped $1.2 trillion in 2024.
Canada’s recognition of Palestine could test the durability of that partnership. Trump’s warning introduces uncertainty into future negotiations, particularly if he secures the Republican nomination for the 2028 presidential race and returns to the White House.
Trade analysts warn that any disruption could severely impact both countries.
“This is not a symbolic threat. If trade is weaponized over foreign policy differences, both economies stand to lose,” said Laura Jenkins, a senior trade expert at the Global Policy Institute.
Reaction Across the Globe
The international community has responded with mixed reactions. While Middle Eastern nations and pro-Palestinian advocates have praised Canada’s bold move, Israel recalled its ambassador from Ottawa and issued a stern rebuke.
“This is a betrayal of our shared democratic values,” said Israeli Prime Minister Yoav Greenblatt.
On the other hand, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas thanked Canada for “taking a courageous step toward justice and recognition,” and urged other Western nations to follow suit.
