00:00A startling scenario is making headlines.

00:04The Canadian military is studying a hypothetical military model

00:08simulating a potential confrontation with the United States.

00:12The scenario was revealed in a striking report by a Canadian newspaper,

00:17despite officials stressing that an actual U.S. order to invade Canada

00:21remains highly unlikely.

00:24So, why has Ottawa placed such a scenario on the planning table?

00:28The reason lies in the statements and behaviour of U.S. President Donald Trump,

00:33who reignited controversy at the start of his second term

00:36by repeatedly referring to Canada as the 51st U.S. State,

00:40remarks that Canadian circles viewed as an unprecedented political overstep.

00:45Although talk of annexing Canada had subsided in recent months,

00:49as Trump's ambitions appeared to expand to Panama and Greenland,

00:53a photo the U.S. President posted from his office brought the issue back to the forefront.

00:57The image showed a map of Canada covered with the U.S. flag,

01:02alongside Venezuela and Greenland,

01:05a move observers interpreted as a subtle political message

01:09reflecting an expansionist vision that goes beyond mere rhetoric.

01:13While the Canadian government downplays the likelihood of military escalation,

01:18the report stresses that preparing such models does not imply an expectation of imminent war,

01:23but rather falls within the scope of precautionary defence planning.
