Donald Trump's top advisor has reportedly threatened to redraw the border with Canada, a source claims.

On February 1, Donald Trump signed off on an order imposing 'catastrophic' tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada.

The 47th President of the US has since doubled down on his intentions to place 25 percent tariffs on Canada - suggesting the only 'solution' for Canada to avoid such a tariff would be to become a 'Cherished 51st state'.

Trump's tariffs are part of his plan to 'take bold action to hold Mexico, Canada, and China accountable to their promises of halting illegal immigration and stopping poisonous fentanyl and other drugs from flowing into our country'.

"There is growing production of fentanyl in Canada and enough fentanyl was seized at the northern border last fiscal year to kill 9.8 million Americans," the executive order claims.

The executive order places 25 percent tariffs on goods imported from Canada and Mexico and a 10 percent tariff on China.

While an American couple took it upon themselves to pay for everyone's meal at a Canadian restaurant because they 'hate' what Trump is doing, senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for the 47th President of the US, Peter Navarro, seemingly has no interest in repairing relations at all.

A source has come forward telling The Telegraph the top advisor to the president is now recommending 'revising' the border between the US and Canada, the source branding such a suggestion 'just crazy and dangerous'.

Cited as being 'close to the negotiations,' the source said Canada is now refraining from 'negotiating' with the US Government until two incoming members of Trump's cabinet - Jameson Greer and Howard Lutnick - are confirmed by the senate.

The source continued: "Peter Navarro is in post, and he is taking advantage of being there by himself with no one else in post to challenge his extreme positions.

"This will change as soon as the many other trade and economic positions are filled."

However, Navarro has spoken out to condemn another unnamed source who previously came forward claiming the US was in discussion about potentially pushing Canada out of the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network.

Navarro called the claims 'crazy' arguing the US 'would never jeopardize [its] national security [...] will allies like Canada,' adding: "My view is that we should never have to comment on any story where it’s based on unnamed sources."

UNILAD has contacted the White House for comment.
