Trump's national security strategy: Is Canada now in America's 'backyard'?

Janice Gross Stein, Belzberg professor of Conflict Management and the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto, discusses the Trump administration's new national security doctrine and its implications for Canada. She examines how this strategy asserts U.S. hemispheric dominance and challenges Canadian Arctic sovereignty. She argues the doctrine signals a return to 19th-century spheres of influence, where three major powers—in this case, the United States, China, and Russia—dominate their respective regions while smaller nations follow their rules.
