Trump says ‘highly unlikely’ U.S. ever uses military force to annex Canada


By Canadian Press on May 4, 2025.

OTTAWA — U.S. President Donald Trump says it is “highly unlikely” the United States would ever use military force to annex Canada.

In a wide-ranging interview on NBC’s “Meet The Press” which aired Sunday, Trump says he wouldn’t rule it out against Greenland, but says he doesn’t see it happening with Canada.

The remarks come as Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to have his first face-to-face meeting with Trump this week in Washington.

Trump also downplayed the United States’ reliance on Canadian imports, telling NBC his country doesn’t need anything of Canada’s.

The U.S. imported $412.7 billion of Canadian goods in 2024, according to the United States trade representative.

The bulk of Canada’s exports to the U.S. were energy and minerals.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 4, 2025.

Why used military when you can use PsyOps, bringing unrest on university campuses, the streets across a nation, use disinformation to destroy politicians careers, cause other nations not to come to your aid using threats, create and addiction crisis and deploy economic warfare.
Some of these practises have already been used by foreign actor nations and groups, to weaken our country for their own benefits . . . including using paid protestors while began about 15 years ago to shut down oil and gas pipelines and proposed facilities,using Indigenous and unemployed persons to man the lines, and funded by foreign nations who were protecting their own markets and bilionaires who have major investments the Canadian railroad companies who shipped much of the product that would end up in pipelines . . . and some of those same paid protestors continued further with other causes, some of which they knew nothing about, such as the Free Gaza movement . . . many couldn’t answer basic questions about the Israeli-Gaza war.
Trump doesn’t need to use military force . . . I would bet, as a matter of its own national security, it has had well planned strategies on how to take over Canada, Mexico and other countries of interest for decades, as Russia and Britain have or had over the years and I am sure China has had for the last 10 years, with a few thousand spies in Canada alone and at least 40 thousand in the US as they have embedded themselves in North America!
China is the true threat! Trump is only short-term!
