Trump thinks that it's a hostile act against the US if other countries trade with the US, and also if other countries trade with each other without the US.

Trump is a monumental, historical, geopolitical failure.

Trump Wanted Canada as the 51st State. He Ended Up Pushing It Toward the European Union.

The invitation by the E.U. for Canada to become an “associate member” is a sign of Mr. Trump’s brand of diplomacy, which often involves threatening America’s closest friends.

Less 'EU wants', more Commission President 'would like to work... on opening the door for Canada to be the first associate member of the EU."

Any decision on conferring such a status would rest with the member states... and almost certainly require unanimity...
