Maximalist Strategy: What Lies Behind Trump's Threats to Canada.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed concern about the possibility of Canada joining the U.S., as suggested by President Donald Trump. Trudeau believes this threat has become real, particularly due to Trump's interest in Canada's resources. According to Trump's close associate Steve Bannon, such a move fits into a strategic plan to strengthen American influence in the Western Hemisphere, which also includes Greenland and the Panama Canal.

However, experts believe that these statements are merely a tactic by Trump, providing him with room for negotiations in the future. They see it as a pragmatic goal aimed at strengthening American positions in trade policy and international relations. The principle of 'America First' allows Trump to control the information space and complicates efforts by opponents to interfere with his initiatives.
