In a recent interview, former National Security Advisor John Bolton shared insights on what President Donald Trump may want from Canada. Bolton, who was once a close adviser to Trump, emphasized the importance of Canada not only focusing on border security spending in order to effectively deal with the new American president. This warning comes at a crucial time as Canada navigates its relationship with the United States, especially as trade tensions and border security issues continue to be hot topics between the two countries.
Bolton’s advice serves as a reminder that Canada must be strategic in its approach to dealing with Trump’s administration. While border security is undoubtedly important, Bolton suggests that there may be other key areas where Canada can make progress in its relationship with the United States. By understanding what Trump wants and needs from Canada, the country can better position itself to negotiate effectively and protect its own interests.
As tensions between the United States and Canada persist, Bolton’s insights offer valuable perspective on how to navigate the complexities of the relationship. With his experience working closely with Trump, Bolton’s advice carries weight and highlights the importance of being proactive and strategic in dealing with the current administration. It remains to be seen how Canada will heed Bolton’s warnings and adapt its approach to effectively engage with the United States under Trump’s leadership.

I'm w/ Trump on Bolton he was an ass%$# last time in Canada. He has cleaned up his tone this time.
So Mr. Bolton prefers troops to police the world instead of tariffs? This man doesn’t understand business. Tariffs are about making foreign products unaffordable and less money for countries selling it. Nobody’s forcing Americans to buy!
And I fully agree with Mr. Bolton's stance on defense spending. We need to up our game, and should have been efforting this long before now.
Dear Americans that are still friendly with Canada:
1. Your “drill, baby, drill” incoming president isn’t bright enough to see the correlation between burning oil and the disasters in Florida, West Virginia, California…..
2. When we match the tariffs, even though we’d rather not, please don’t get upset with us. Items you need to buy from us will suddenly be a lot more expensive. And we will be buying less items from you. Until Trump wisens up.
He wants respect. We don't respect the US for what they do for us. We take them for granted. The same way we take Alberta for granted.
During those meetings (held in Ottawa on Jan. 15, 2025), attendees were explicitly forbidden from addressing Canada after Parliament was dissolved and Justin Trudeau resigned. As a result, there were no representatives from the Trust available to affect the decision-making process
I agree with most he is saying. Personally I am not worried about immigration. Trumps wives are migrants, Trumps mother was migrant and his german grandparents too.
Everything is American in Canada so U.S will lose more. Canada should start full trade with EU, England and BRICKS
I’m a free trader . I don’t support tariffs in any form by anyone .
OH PLEASE – ask this jerk 'WHY DOES North Korea HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS?" HE IS THE REASON, ENOUGH SAID.
John Bolton? John Bolton? The former Trump stalwart who refused to testify to Congress in Trump's impeachment entanglements because he had a book coming out and it might hurt his revenue stream? That John Bolton is now going to mind read Donald Trump's intentions vis a vis Canada? I'd get more reliable information from a tarot card reader. Honest to god. What does the Canadian media see in this guy? Some kind of insider legitimacy? Get a grip.
I hate how casually disrespectful American politicians are.
inadvertantly ??!!
Canada should respond by adding tariffs on US goods like cars in addition to open the canadian market on Chinese/European goods
Raised on Bible prophecy it made sense to speculate absolute one world control.
50 years ago I've said the day will come when the world governments won't be able to explain a coming biblical event (rapture) and rather than admit there is a god they will say it was an alien abduction
Time for American companies in the tarsands to finally pay double or triple the oil and gas royalties that the conservatives let them get away with NOT PAYING over the past 3 decades… 😊
What did you do good during your time?
love how Trump and Elon are trolling the MAGAS lol…
Why is Global News helping rehabilitate credibly accused war criminal and multiple times self admitted South American political coup orchestrator John Bolton's public image?
Might be a while before we hear anything intelligent from American politicians again
The USA will be the worst hurt, Canada can cut off us imports and stop exporting to the USA. Likewise Mexico and the EU countries. Sure, those economies will be hurt, but the USA won't have anything to buy, wont have corn sales, wheat sales, soybean sales, cotton, etc.
"Braindead Bolton" 🤣🤣🤣
John Bolton is a war criminal and should be in the Hague
Trump does not understand tariffs… or he does not care 🤬
Trump wants Canadian industry manufacturing to move across the border. He will probably raise the rate until it happens.
Trump is a dump, convicted man always talk nonsense 😢😢😢
It's obvious that he wants access to the North west passage. Also wants Canada to pay for the military to secure those waters. In the next few years, the north could become the most important shipping lane on earth.
When was the last time NATO had to be used as a defensive force? I always see them as the aggressor. Just ask Sirya, Libya, Afganistan, Iraq etc. The sooner NATO is disbanded the better. It's only purpose to for the US to sell over priced weapons to countries around the world. Be gone with it.
Best war monger
Trump "Fix your side of the boarder" Canada, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
estos sopilotes se comen asta entre ellos mismos
Americans cry there eyes out becouse of tiktok ban. Its embarassing!!
Lol Bolton is one of biggest war mongers on planet Earth and now because he's anti Trump he's the Canadian media's go to guy along with Brian Stelter and Bill Browder. It's laughable how the media flips when the narrative need arises!
Make america great again with a free degree from tRump Univerity.
Thank you John Bolton.
Whatever YOU want, no matter what it is, no matter how much it makes sense, the incoming administration will be against it. These coming years will be the spoils of decades of blind partisan ship and willful ignorance by an electorate who didn't think it important enough to inform themselves and vote.
Bolton is a washed up Anti trumper. Why do people give him attention
Canada has to buy a mass amount of weapons of some other country other than the US. We have to build up our military anyway so if we do build up our military tell them we're not buying anything from the US if they keep up this trade business insane we're going to be the 51st state lots of other countries sell weapons besides the US
