Donald Trump’s top advisor has reportedly threatened to redraw the border with Canada, a source claims.

Trump Escalates Trade War, Suggests Canada Join U.S. to Avoid Tariffs

On February 1, President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing steep tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada, sparking immediate backlash.

The 47th U.S. President has since doubled down on his plan to slap a 25% tariff on Canadian imports, suggesting that Canada’s only way out is to become America’s “Cherished 51st State.”

Trump framed these tariffs as part of his crackdown on illegal immigration and the fentanyl crisis, stating:

“There is growing production of fentanyl in Canada, and enough fentanyl was seized at the northern border last fiscal year to kill 9.8 million Americans.”

Tariffs Ignite Backlash

The executive order enforces:

  • 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico
  • 10% tariffs on China

While many Canadians are furious, one American couple took a stand by covering everyone’s meal at a Canadian restaurant, expressing their frustration with Trump’s policies.

Trump Advisor Pushes for a Border ‘Revision’

In a move that’s stirring even greater controversy, Peter Navarro, Trump’s senior trade counselor, is now reportedly advocating for a “revision” of the U.S.-Canada border.

A source told The Telegraph:
“This idea is just crazy and dangerous.”

With tensions rising, Trump’s latest trade policies have shaken international relations—and Canada is at the center of the storm.

Canada Freezes Talks with U.S. Amidst Trump’s Tariff Chaos

With tensions escalating over President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, Canada is refusing to negotiate with the U.S. until two key Cabinet members—Jameson Greer and Howard Lutnick—are confirmed by the Senate.

Navarro’s Power Play

A source close to the negotiations claims that Trump’s senior trade advisor, Peter Navarro, is exploiting his solo position in the administration to push extreme policies unchecked.

“Navarro is in post, and he is taking advantage of being there by himself with no one else to challenge his extreme positions,” the source revealed.
“This will change as soon as the many other trade and economic positions are filled.”

Denial of Five Eyes Expulsion Rumors

While Navarro is at the center of controversy, he has rejected claims that the U.S. is considering removing Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network.

With tariffs, diplomatic standoffs, and internal chaos unfolding, the U.S.-Canada relationship appears to be heading into unprecedented territory.

Navarro Dismisses ‘Crazy’ Claims Amid U.S.-Canada Tensions

As tensions between the U.S. and Canada continue to mount over President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, senior trade advisor Peter Navarro has dismissed allegations that the U.S. is considering removing Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network.

Navarro slammed the claims as ‘crazy,’ asserting that the U.S. “would never jeopardize [its] national security […] with allies like Canada.” He further criticized the credibility of such reports, stating:

“My view is that we should never have to comment on any story where it’s based on unnamed sources.”

Despite Navarro’s dismissal, Canada has put negotiations with the U.S. on hold until two key Cabinet members—Jameson Greer and Howard Lutnick—are confirmed by the Senate. Meanwhile, Navarro remains one of the few voices steering Trump’s trade policy, raising concerns about his unchecked influence in shaping economic relations.
