据两名美国现任官员、一名高级政府官员及三名前美国高官透露，美国总统特朗普近期私下将关注重点 转向西半球的另一个目标——加拿大，近几周来他频繁向助手抱怨，认为加拿大在北极地区极易受到美 国对手的攻击，尤其强调加拿大需要增加国防开支。 在特朗普的顾问团队为其收购格陵兰岛的目标努力之际，这位美国总统私下里愈发担忧加拿大同样无力 抵御美国对手的任何侵犯，官员们称。他们表示，特朗普的推动加速了关于更广泛北极战略的内部讨 论，并有可能在今年与加拿大达成一项协议，以加强其北部边境防御。 "特朗普真的很担心美国在西半球继续处于劣势，并且正专注于解决这个问题，"其中一名官员说。 现任美国官员表示，目前没有讨论在美国北部边境沿线派驻美军。高级政府官员及现任和前任美国官员 称，与格陵兰岛不同，特朗普并未寻求购买加拿大，也未表示可能通过美国军事力量占领加拿大。 特朗普对加拿大的批评可以追溯到他的第一个任期。去年，批评达到了白热化程度，他威胁要使用"经 济力量"占领加拿大，并将其从美国的北部邻国转变为第51个州。特朗普挑起了与加拿大的贸易战，并 公开与加拿大政府争执。最近，这些公开的紧张局势有所缓和。 高级政府官员及现任和前任美国官员 ...
