Trump Denies Interference With French in Canada

On the 25th local time, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on the 'Real Social Media' platform, stating that he would never interfere with Canadians speaking French.

In fact, I have never thought of doing such stupid things. This is a weak and incompetent prime minister who fabricated lies to get political support from Quebecers that he had already lost. I love Franco-Canadians!

In Canada, English and French are both official languages.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau previously stated that some demands made by the United States in trade negotiations could endanger the position of French in Canada, including reducing subsidies for French media and eliminating the requirement that products must be labeled in both English and French.

Recently, at a press conference in Quebec, Carney said in French: “For Americans, French, French culture, and Canadian culture are things that bother them. But in Quebec and Canada, these are rights.”

According to CNN, for a long time, the United States has regarded Canada's language requirements as a trade barrier. However, for Canada, this is generally an unbridgeable red line.
