U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra stated that the Trump administration is not meeting with or strategizing alongside Alberta separatist groups. This follows reports and claims from some separatist figures suggesting contacts with U.S. officials. Hoekstra’s comments come amid ongoing tensions in Canadian politics, including debates over energy policy, federal-provincial relations, and broader Canada-U.S. dynamics.

The Canadian government has chosen Germany’s Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) as the preferred bidder to build a fleet of up to 12 diesel-electric submarines for the Royal Canadian Navy. Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to make the formal announcement in Halifax. The decision ends a competition with South Korea’s Hanwha, with the contract valued potentially at tens of billions of dollars including industrial benefits. Both bidders offered significant economic commitments; the selection prioritizes industrial and economic offsets as part of efforts to boost defence spending toward NATO targets.
