Trump has said he wouldn91裸聊视频檛 rule out using military force to take over Greenland, which is part of Denmark.
In January, Trump threatened to use 91裸聊视频渆conomic force91裸聊视频� to annex Canada. He said again Sunday that he wants to see Canada become a U.S. state, after being asked about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau91裸聊视频檚 recent claim that Trump is not joking about annexation.
In response to a question about Greenland, Dion said such threats are not normal and violate the UN Charter. He said that merely threatening to invade another country is a violation of international law.
Trudeau is in Paris to attend a global summit on artificial intelligence. Late Sunday evening, following a dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron, Trudeau did not answer reporters91裸聊视频� questions about Trump91裸聊视频檚 recent statements.
Dion said Canada and European countries are working on a cohesive strategy to address Trump91裸聊视频檚 tariff threats.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance is also in Paris for the AI Action Summit. It91裸聊视频檚 not clear if he will meet with Trudeau; no meeting has been announced to date.
Last week, both Canada and Mexico were granted month-long reprieves from Trump91裸聊视频檚 threatened broad-based tariffs.
On Wednesday, Trudeau will travel to Brussels to meet with EU leaders 91裸聊视频� an opportunity for Canada to shore up its relationship with the European Union in the face of Trump91裸聊视频檚 threats.
Dion told reporters Monday that Canada won91裸聊视频檛 be successful in trade diversification unless that effort includes Europe.
