BREAKING: The US is now actively working to split Canada apart
The Trump administration has held covert meetings with separatists in Alberta, Canada – FT
Reports published by the *Financial Times* allege that officials linked to the Trump administration held covert meetings with separatist figures in Alberta, raising fresh questions about U.S.–Canada relations and foreign interference.
According to the report, the discussions centered on Alberta’s long-standing grievances with Ottawa, including energy policy, federal taxation, and perceived regional neglect. Sources cited by the *FT* claim the contacts were exploratory rather than operational, but the revelation has fueled concern in Canada about attempts to exploit internal political tensions.
Canadian federal officials have responded cautiously, saying they are seeking clarification from Washington while emphasizing Canada’s unity and sovereignty. Alberta’s provincial government has denied any involvement, distancing itself from separatist movements that operate largely on the political fringe.
U.S. officials have not publicly confirmed the meetings and have rejected suggestions that Washington is pursuing a strategy to fracture Canada. Analysts note that even informal contacts, if verified, would mark an unusual and provocative departure from the traditionally close relationship between the two countries.
As details remain scarce, the episode underscores how domestic discontent can become a flashpoint in broader geopolitical rivalries—and how quickly unverified contacts can strain even the closest alliances.
