Aldi in North America is owned by a different parent company than Trader Joes. Both parent companies are named Aldi. The context of the original question was essentially asking "Aren't Aldi (US) and Trader Joes owned by the same company?" to which Mr Worldly Wiseman responded with a correct no. No further specification needed because you can simply look to the broader context the question was asked in.

The broader context was worldwide as far as I can tell though.

Trader Joes is only located in the lower 48 states.

Ah the stores specifically, products with that branding are also available in Aldi Nord stores.

Oh, TIL. I'll have to check that out next time I'm in Germany.

Ah, okay. That makes sense.
