I le fonotaga le World Economic Forum i Davos i Switzerland, na saunoa ai le palemia o Kanata, Mark Carney, ua tatau i atunu'u e pei o Kanata ma Ausetalia ona lē toe ifo to'ele i faiga fa'amalosi a isi atunu’u e pei o Amerika:
"Every day we're reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry, that the rules based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer. And faced with this logic, there is a strong tendency for countries to go along to get along, to hope that compliance will buy safety. Well, it won't. So, what are our options?"
Na amata le paea'iga lona lua a Donald Trump i lona osofa'ia o Venezuela ma 'ave faamalosi le peresitene o lea atunu’u, lona folafola e fāoa fa’amalosi le motu o Greenland o loo i lalo o le pulega fa’amalumalu a Denmark, ma lona fa’atulagaina o tiute/tariffs mo atunu’u uma o le lalolagi.
O le finauga mai ia Dr Emma Shortis, le fa’atonu o le International and Security Affairs Program i le Australia Institute, ua tatau ona silasila ta’ita’i o Ausetalia i le fa’ata’ita’iga a Kanata i lona vā ma Amerika:
"This is a president who is unconstrained and who is incredibly dangerous. And for Australia to tie not only our own security, but the security of our region to that again, is incredibly risky and undermines our regional relationships. That risk will only increase as Australia remains tied to this rogue power that is going to continue acting out. There's not many universes in which Trump's behavior becomes constructive."
O feagaiga i le vā o Ausetalia ma Amerika e māgalua; o le atina'e ma le puipuiga.
Na saunoa Dr Shortis, a silasila i le atina'e, ua manino le lē amana'iaina e Donald Trump o se feagaiga e manuia ai Ausetalia - na saesae nini'i e Trump le feagaiga i sa’olotoga o fefa’ataua'iga i le vā o Amerika ma Ausetalia:
"The Trump administration has ripped up Australia's free trade agreement with the United States. It is trashing all the rules of global trade, which were of course imperfect, but which for the most part benefited Australia and created prosperity in Australia. Trump is trashing that and that is a risk to our security, our economic security."
I le itū i le puipuiga, o loo malosi le finauga mai le sui o le Greens, Senator David Shoebridge, i le tatau i le mālō tele ona toe silasila i le puipuiga o le atunu’u i lalo o le feagaiga ma Amerika, ae maise pe a tupu mai se taua i le va o Amerika ma Saina:
"What we're doing at the moment is not making Australia safer. We're putting Australia on the new frontline if there is a conflict between China and the United States, and we're inviting ourselves into a conflict that is not our strategic conflict, that isn't based upon our values and isn't based on our national interests. So, our relationship with the United States far from making us safer at the moment is inviting us to Donald Trump's next war."
