NBC News is reporting that Trump is increasingly complaining to aides about Canada’s vulnerability to adversaries in the Arctic.
As Trump works toward annexing Greenland, he has intensified his criticism of what he sees as Canada’s similar inability to defend its borders against any encroachment from Russia or China.
Trump’s push has accelerated internal discussions about a broader Arctic strategy and potentially reaching an agreement to fortify our northern border.
NBC cited two US officials, a senior administration official, and three former senior US officials as sources for their reporting.
