NYT: Trump wants to challenge the border agreement with Canada.

US President Donald Trump told Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that he does not believe in the existing agreement that establishes the border between the two countries and wishes to review this deal. He also expressed a desire to revisit agreements regarding the joint use of lakes and rivers between the two countries. This information was published by The New York Times.

During phone conversations on February 3, the US president presented the Canadian Prime Minister with a list of grievances regarding trade relations between the two countries, including the protected dairy sector in Canada and the obstacles faced by American banks in Canada. Trump also reminded about the border agreement established in 1908.

Canadian officials took Trump's statements seriously, especially considering his previous remarks about wanting to 'bring Canada to its knees.' Responding to a question from a New York Times journalist in January, Trump indicated plans to use 'economic power' against Canada.

After the imposition of tariffs by the US, the Canadian Prime Minister stated that the rationale for national measures was false and misleading. He added that the US president aims to destroy the Canadian economy with the goal of annexing the country.

According to the publication, after these conversations between the presidents of the US and Canada, the US Secretary of Commerce informed the Canadian Minister of Finance about Trump's intentions.
