Run around the north: Canada increases military presence against Trump!

Vancouver, Kanada - The race for the raw materials in the far north has flared up! In the past few months, Canada, Russia and the United States have massively strengthened their military activities in the polar region. The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warns that the threat of the United States in particular should not be underestimated. According to Trudeau, US President Donald Trump has serious plans to integrate Canada as a 51st state in order to benefit from the country's rich mineral resources. This reports Krone .

Trudeau and the threat of Trump

In a private session with business people, Trudeau said that Trump has no interest in topics such as immigration or trade deficit. Rather, Trump wants to use Canada's wealth of resources. This message was accidentally transferred by a loudspeaker, which made additional attention. As part of a summit in Toronto, Trudeau said that Canada had to act strategically in order to counter the impending tariffs. Trump had threatened to impose up to 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, especially on oil, gas and electrical energy. Trudeau sees this situation as a critical moment in the history of Canada, reports AP news .

To prepare itself, Canada plans an improvement in border security with a budget of $ 1.3 billion, Canadian dollars, which includes drones, helicopters and additional border police officers. Trudeau admits that protection against illegal immigration and drug trafficking is a challenge, even if less than 1% of the fentanyl problem in North America comes from Canada. He also announced the appointment of a "fentanyl zar" to intensify the contacts between Canada and the USA.
