According to sources from the channel, American officials claim that the president does not plan a "purchase of Canada." Instead, negotiations are underway with Canadian authorities about the possibility of deepening cooperation between the armed forces of both countries in the Arctic.
At the same time, as sources clarified, discussions about the deployment of American troops on Canada's northern border are not part of the current negotiations.
According to an anonymous American official, "the international community does not perceive Canada as a significant force in the field of defense," which underscores Trump's concerns.
In 2025, Trump had already commented on former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, calling him "the governor of the great state of Canada" amid disputes over potential tariffs on Canadian goods. Later, he claimed that Canada could avoid these tariffs and receive military support if it were to become part of the United States.
