Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro is reportedly pushing for an unprecedented maneuver that would upend decades' worth of American national security policy.

The Financial Times reports that Navarro has recently floated kicking Canada out of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing program that also includes the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.

Removing Canada from Five Eyes would mark a dramatic escalation in the current feud between the United States and Canada and would likely permanently damage relations between the two nations for years to come.

Navarro denies he said it. I think they put probes out to gage reaction to sick policies.
