Top White House official Peter Navarro is advocating for Canada’s removal from the Five Eyes intelligence alliance amid Trump’s ambitions to annex the country.
Navarro, a close Trump adviser, argues that expelling Canada would increase U.S. leverage over its northern neighbor.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, caught on an open mic, acknowledged Trump’s annexation plans as a “real thing.”
Trump plans to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian imports after a one-month reprieve, escalating economic tensions.
Experts warn that expelling Canada would weaken intelligence-sharing and benefit U.S. adversaries like China and Russia.
The Five Eyes alliance, dating back to World War II, is considered the world’s most successful intelligence-sharing network.
Intelligence officials and international partners caution against breaking decades-old security cooperation.
Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon supports Trump’s hardline stance on Canada but warns that expelling it from Five Eyes would hurt the U.S.
A longtime Trump loyalist, Navarro recently served prison time for defying a congressional subpoena on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
The White House, Trudeau’s office, and Canadian intelligence services have declined to comment on the matter.
