Multiple US media outlets reported on Sunday that Trump plans to carry out the largest-scale adjustment in the history of the US Department of State, which is considered a disruptive reform that shakes America's global diplomatic strategic layout.
The reform draft particularly singles out Canada, with the preliminary design stating that "Canada's diplomatic relations will be handled by a significantly reduced team, which will be affiliated with the North American Affairs Office under the Secretary of State's office," which includes drastically reducing the size of the US Embassy in Ottawa. This adjustment implies an insult to Canadian sovereignty: Canada does not deserve the previous level of diplomatic treatment.
This is equivalent to placing Canada in an optional position in America's diplomacy, which has hurt Canada! A pressing issue facing Canada is how it can determine its own positioning.
