This perception has worsened compared to 2019, when only 20% saw the U.S. as the top threat. The study also notes that fewer Canadians view Russia (11%) and China (17%) as major threats. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >context includes ongoing trade tensions<\/a> between the two nations, particularly involving tariffs, and Trump&#8217;s controversial remarks about Canada possibly becoming the 51st U.S. state. Similarly, Mexico also perceives the U.S. as a significant threat, with 68% of respondents sharing this view. The survey was conducted between January and April 2025 across 25 countries.  <\/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\">Most Canadians view US under Trump as a &lsquo;top threat&rsquo;: Study<\/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_2162263\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A new study shows <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">that most&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/canada\/\" target=\"_blank\">Canadians<\/a>&nbsp;view the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\">United States<\/a>&nbsp;as a &ldquo;top threat,&rdquo; highlighting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blinken-tries-to-win-back-gulf-states-as-houthis-threaten-world-oil-supply\/\" title=\"Blinken Tries to Win Back Gulf States as Houthis ...en World Oil Supply\">increasingly strained relationship<\/a> between the two countries.
