A shocking revelation has emerged from the inner circle of former President Donald Trump, indicating a secret plan for an ambitious takeover. But this time, it's not just any country; it's America's closest neighbor, Canada.
Trump, at 79, has set his sights on Canada's northern border, believing it to be a vulnerable spot that could be exploited by U.S. rivals Russia and China. According to sources, including current and former U.S. officials, Trump is concerned about Canada's Arctic capabilities and sees an opportunity to strengthen the region's security.
"Canada's northern border is not up to par with today's threats," one official stated, adding, "The status quo is simply not enough."
Trump's interest in Canada's Arctic region has led to discussions with Canadian officials about expanding U.S. maritime patrols and acquiring more icebreakers to operate near Canadian territory. An official explained, "Trump is focused on preventing Russia and China from gaining further presence in the Arctic."
With its vast landmass of 3.85 million square miles and a population of 40 million, Canada is the biggest target on Trump's expanding list of potential acquisitions.
This comes as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, signaling a potential strengthening of ties between the two nations. Carney's visit to China was the first by a Canadian leader since 2017.
Trump's aides describe his fixation on Canada as part of a broader strategy to "solidify" the Western Hemisphere, similar to his aggressive campaign to acquire Greenland.
"Canada would benefit from the U.S. having Greenland," an administration official commented.
However, Trump's assertions that "We do need Greenland, absolutely" for defense purposes have caused tension with Denmark, which has repeatedly stated that it will not give up the world's largest island and that an American takeover would end NATO.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller added fuel to the fire by stating that under "the law," nations are not entitled to their territory if they cannot defend it. Miller criticized Denmark's military, calling it "tiny" and incapable of adequately protecting Greenland.
"Denmark has failed on every single test of territorial control," Miller asserted.
Similarly, U.S. officials have voiced criticisms of Canada's defense capabilities, despite Canada's increased defense spending.
"The world doesn't view Canada as a major military power," an official remarked.
While Trump has stated that military action against Canada is "highly unlikely," his recent shock invasion of Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicholas Maduro have left many questioning his future moves. The president has not ruled out deploying U.S. troops to countries like Colombia, Mexico, and Greenland.
