Trump seems to have gone all-in, and when one plan fails, he comes up with another. According to the Financial Times, Trump is actively trying to "split Canada." U.S. government officials have confirmed secret meetings with separatist groups in Alberta, Canada, discussing possible support measures, such as a $50 billion credit line for the province, but no commitments have been made. Canadian officials have condemned the U.S. action as "interference in policy" and called the province's actions "treason." Seeing that Prime Minister Kanis is unwilling to serve as the 51st state governor of the United States, Trump is taking an unconventional approach, supporting the secession of a Canadian province. If this plan succeeds, the province may join the United States after declaring independence, thus allowing Trump to partially "annex" Canadian territory, which would be a kind of reward.
