VIDEO: Trump‘s Ambassador to Canada Deflects Question on Potential U.S. annexation of Canadian territories
The U.S. Ambassador to Canada, David Cohen, declined to directly address a question regarding the possibility of the United States annexing parts of Canada, suggesting the discussion could be revisited at a later date. During an appearance on the Closer Look podcast, hosted by Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith of Village Media, Cohen responded to a question about comments made by former President Donald Trump suggesting the U.S. might acquire Canadian land with, “Boy, that American ambassador was really evasive on that issue,” he continued. “You can have that discussion tomorrow.I’m not focused on it.”
The exchange highlights ongoing tensions stemming from Trump’s past rhetoric about Canada and raises questions about the current management’s stance on cross-border issues. While Cohen dismissed the immediate discussion, the topic resurfaces amid broader concerns about U.S.-Canada relations and the potential for future political shifts.
