The report emerged as Trump is contemplating imposing 25% tariffs on Canadian\u200c imports, a measure delayed for further assessment of Canada&#8217;s efforts in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-are-going-to-take-back-america-trump-holds-1st-rally-of-2022-in-arizona\/\" title=\"\u2018We Are Going to Take Back America\u2019: ...

The removal of any member would have important\u2062 implications for\u200c national security and international\u200d relations. Additionally, Canadian Prime Minister justin Trudeau recently announced that he \u2063would not seek reelection, coinciding with Trump&#8217;s remarks about Canada&#8217;s political situation. \u2063Following the tariff delay, Trudeau detailed plans to \u200benhance border security and combat fentanyl trafficking, including\u200d the appointment of a \u200dFentanyl Czar and collaborating with U.S. efforts against organized \u200dcrime.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Navarro backs Canada&rsquo;s membership to Five Eyes alliance after conflicting report<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2019922\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Top <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/news\/white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">White House<\/a> trade adviser <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/peter-navarro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Peter Navarro<\/a> condemned a report contending he sought to push <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Canada<\/a> out of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance as part of President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a>&lsquo;s pressure campaign on a country that has traditionally been an ally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The report from the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/2dfa3c11-64a7-49f6-83df-939b8d1cfb8e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Financial Times<\/a><\/em>  came before Trump&rsquo;s deadline next week to impose 25% <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tariffs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">tariffs<\/a> on all of Canada&rsquo;s imports.
