A top White House official has threatened to redraw the Canadian border amid Donald Trump’s ambition to turn the country in America’s “51st state”.

Peter Navarro, one of Donald Trump’s closest advisers, is pushing US negotiators to discuss reworking the border with their Canadian counterparts, The Telegraph can reveal.

“Navarro recommended revising the Canada-US border, which is just crazy and dangerous,” a source close to negotiations told The Telegraph.

      This is why I don’t think it will ever happen.

      US Miliary personnel have worked hand in hand with the Canadians half a century doing everything from joint ops to sharing bases. I think a lot of them would simply refuse to invade Canada without congress first declaring an official war, and congress wouldn’t do that because it would be horrifically unpopular with the US populace.

        Have you met any currently serving USA military personnel? Theyre definitely not the best and brightest
        Youd have to be a complete tool to continue to work for the USA so I wouldn’t expect them to have the morals you think they have
