‘A blessing in disguise’
Trump’s decision to rescind his invitation for Carney to join his Board of Peace for Gaza is good news for the Canadian prime minister, says a professor, as the war of words between neighbouring leaders churns on.
“I think it’s a huge blessing in disguise because then Canada doesn’t have to make a decision to join this vanity project that Donald Trump is pursuing,” Nader Hashemi, associate professor of Middle East and Islamic politics at Georgetown University told CTV’s Your Morning on Friday.
“Trump has made the decision already for him. The revocation of the invitation is really at the core of this board of peace; it revolves around the personal preferences and wishes of Donald Trump who acts as, effectively, an emperor.”
“因祸得福”
一位教授表示,特朗普决定撤销邀请卡尼加入其“加沙和平委员会”的决定,对加拿大总理来说反而是个好消息,因为这场邻国领导人之间的口水战仍在持续。
乔治城大学中东与伊斯兰政治学副教授纳德尔·哈希米周五在接受 CTV《Your Morning》节目采访时表示:“我认为这真的是因祸得福,因为这样一来,加拿大就不必就是否加入唐纳德·特朗普正在推动的这个虚荣项目而作出决定。”
“特朗普已经替他做了决定。撤销邀请实际上正是这个和平委员会的核心;它完全围绕着唐纳德·特朗普的个人偏好和意愿运作,而他实际上扮演着一种‘皇帝’的角色。”
