Insider: Greenland is just an appetizer; Trump's next target is Canada
According to two U.S. officials, a senior government official, and three former senior officials familiar with the discussions, Trump has been privately intensifying his focus on another target in the Western Hemisphere, repeatedly complaining to aides in recent weeks about Canada's vulnerability to threats from U.S. adversaries in the Arctic region. Officials stated that as Trump's advisers work to achieve his goal of annexing Greenland, Trump has become increasingly concerned that Canada is equally incapable of defending its borders, specifically pointing out that Canada needs to increase its defense spending. They indicated that Trump's push has accelerated discussions within the U.S. about a broader Arctic strategy and may lead to an agreement with Canada this year to strengthen the defense of its northern borders.
