A top White House official has threatened to redraw the Canadian border amid Donald Trump’s ambition to turn the country in America’s “51st state”.

Peter Navarro, one of Donald Trump’s closest advisers, is pushing US negotiators to discuss reworking the border with their Canadian counterparts, The Telegraph can reveal.

“Navarro recommended revising the Canada-US border, which is just crazy and dangerous,” a source close to negotiations told The Telegraph.

Can't arbitrarily redraw an international border without negotiation

The United Nations Charter prohibits the annexation of a state's territory by another state through the use of force. Annexation is considered an act of aggression and a violation of international law

Bigger army diplomacy is a remarkably effective negotiation strategy.

It turns out, what makes the situation more interesting is how a rational leader should behave if others think he may be irrational. This is known as the "madman theory" of international relations. Today, we take a deep look into it and see that the benefits of being a perceived madman are fleeting.
