President Donald Trump is preparing to counter Chinese influence in Canada as his ‘Donroe Doctrine’ for the Western Hemisphere expands beyond Latin America, his former campaign architect Steve Bannon has told the Daily Mail.
‘The next big thing is going to be Canada. Canada is the next Ukraine because they can’t defend their northern arctic border and China is going to come take a bite,’ former White House chief strategist Bannon said. ‘They can’t defend it and Trump is going to come in hard on Canada.’
During his first term, Trump formed an Arctic working group that deepened his understanding of Greenland’s geo-strategic importance—and highlighted concerns about Canada’s Arctic vulnerabilities.
The president has long been concerned about China’s actions in the Arctic after they described themselves as a ‘near-arctic state’ in 2018, former White House officials told the Daily Mail.
Canada is also forging closer ties with China, which threatens to upset the existing relationship with the United States.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney sparked concern from Americans as he visited China for the first time in nearly a decade and described Chinese president Xi Jinping and China as ‘strategic partners.’
