Aimilio from Montreal asks: As a Canadian my biggest concern about Trump, is he willing to use the military to force Canada to join the US?
And Maite from Paris asks: Can Trump really find a way to acquire Canada?
There’s no question many Canadians felt anxious when Trump began referring to Canada as the “51st State” – a comment that he has not made in recent months. But his comments on Greenland, and the US seizure of former Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, have again caused consternation.
The recent national security strategy released by the White House, which states the US aims to “restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere” hasn’t helped calm nerves.
Still, Trump has not suggested he would use military force against Canada, a close security partner and Nato alliance member – the president himself said a year ago he’d use “economic force” to exact pressure on his northern neighbour.
Trump has imposed a series of tariffs on Canada, though a vast majority of goods are exempt from levies under the current US-Canada-Mexico free trade agreement.
That deal comes under review later this year, and negotiations are expected to be tense. In the meantime, Carney has been logging airmiles looking to drum up business investments in Canada from other countries.
The US has also pressed Canada to boost its defence spending, which it has, adding C$81.8bn over the next five years to the budget. It also added security to the the shared border at the president’s request.
It’s also likely that Canada may be asked by the US to do more to secure the Arctic.
