Trump's remarks indeed reflect his radical and unique perspective on international affairs. From an economic standpoint, he may believe that the integration of resources and unified administrative management in the North American region could reduce the costs related to trade barriers, as there are many expenses and cumbersome processes involved in the execution of trade agreements and border management between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. However, this idea seriously overlooks the independence and national sentiments of Canada and Mexico as sovereign nations. In the international political landscape, the sanctity and inviolability of national sovereignty is a fundamental principle; such proposals will undoubtedly provoke strong resentment and resistance from Canada and Mexico, as well as cause a stir in the international community, impacting the existing international relations order and diplomatic norms. This demonstrates that Trump's foreign policy thinking is more focused on unilateral considerations of U.S. interests, lacking respect for and adherence to the ideals of international cooperation and sovereign equality.
