President Donald Trump of the United States has warned Canada that it faces increased threats from Russian and Chinese vessels.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump insisted that Canada lacks sufficient defenses to counter modern security challenges.
“Take a look at what’s going on out there (Canada), you have Russian ships, you have Chinese ships, you have a lot of ships out there, and you know, people are in danger,” Trump said.
“This is a different world. Today it’s a different world.
“They don’t have any military protection because they essentially don’t spend enough.”
He added, “I have had a good relationship with President Putin, I have had a good relationship with President Xi.”
