["Foreign media expose 'U.S. government senior officials secretly met with far-right groups attempting to split Canada', Kanai responds"] According to a report by the UK's Financial Times, in the context of increasing tensions between the U.S. and Canada, "very, very high-level" U.S. government officials had secret meetings with a far-right separatist group that attempted to undermine the foundations of the Canadian state. According to foreign media reports such as the BBC and Reuters, Canadian Prime Minister Kanai responded to the reports at a press conference on the 29th.
"We hope the U.S. government respects Canadian sovereignty. When I spoke with President Trump, I always clearly expressed this position," Kanai said.
He also stated that Trump never mentioned anything about "Alberta independence" to him. Previously, the Financial Times cited sources saying that since April last year, the leader of the far-right separatist group "Alberta Prosperity Plan", which advocates for Alberta's independence from Canada, had met with U.S. State Department officials in Washington three times. In response, a U.S. State Department spokesperson said that there had been related meetings, but the U.S. "did not make any commitments." (Global Network)
