Trump revives 1930 US war plan to invade Canada as US foreign policy pivots to aggression, raising alarm in Canada. 1930 War Plan Red, a classified US strategy for a hypothetical war with Great Britain, targeted Canada for rapid seizure of key ports, cut undersea cables and rail lines, and mass internments. The plan called for poison gas, amphibious landings and swift collapse of Canadian resistance. The plan was dismissed as a historical quirk until the Trump administration’s rhetoric made it relevant. Trump’s government ordered the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and announced plans to seize Venezuelan oil. Trump and officials openly discussed using military force to invade Greenland for its strategic position and mineral wealth. Canadian forces modelled a hypothetical invasion, planning guerrilla tactics similar to those used against Russian and US forces in Afghanistan. Trump’s comments on the US‑Canada border, calling it an “artificial line” that could be redrawn by force, have rattled Canadian lawmakers. The revived War Plan Red and Trump’s threats illustrate a growing US focus on regional dominance and a willingness to use force against allies.
