En un mitin de campaña celebrado en el estado de Iowa el 22 de octubre, el presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, insistió, entre vítores, en su idea de cambiar el nombre de varios puntos del mapa. Dijo que "Nueva América" sería "un buen nombre" para el estado de Nuevo México y comentó para sí mismo: "Qué buen nombre". Luego recordó que rebautizó el golfo de México como "Golfo de América" y también el lago Ontario como "Lago América". "No diría que México y Canadá están encantados", bromeó.
El viceministro ruso Alexánder Grushkó cuestionó esa reacción y defendió las buenas relaciones entre las superpotencias como la mejor garantía de seguridad europea.
Washington has warned Ottawa against attempts to influence the upcoming midterms, citing anti-Trump advertising and meetings with Democrats
The US has accused Canadian officials of attempting to interfere in American elections, citing politically targeted trade measures, anti-Trump advertising campaigns and meetings with Democratic politicians ahead of next month’s midterms.
In a fact sheet published on Wednesday, the US Embassy in Ottawa accused Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government of openly seeking to influence American politics.
“The Canadian government brushes off concerns about potential interference in US elections, even as its ministers and premiers openly describe plans to influence American politics in official documents and public appearances,” the embassy stated.
The document singled out Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly, citing her remarks about deliberately targeting Republican-leaning states with retaliatory tariffs in response to President Donald Trump’s trade policies.
“We’re making sure to put pressure on American businesses, in key Republican states to put pressure on the Trump Administration,” Joly said in March. “We’re being wise and strategic to put political pressure,” she added in August.
Washington also questioned Joly’s meetings with Democratic officials in Boston and Chicago in September, as well as an anti-tariff advertising campaign launched by Ontario Premier Doug Ford featuring former President Ronald Reagan criticizing protectionist trade policies.
The embassy also highlighted a recent appearance by Canadian Consul General Bernadette Jordan alongside two Democratic congressmen at a Vermont roundtable on trade tensions, just three weeks before the midterms. It also cited a Canadian government billboard campaign targeting 12 mostly Republican-voting states and Washington, DC.
The embassy also cited Liberal lawmaker Anthony Housefather’s campaigning for Democratic Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida, and listed 11 Canadians who had been charged or sentenced in 2026 for illegally voting in previous American elections.
“All Canadians should refrain from attempting to participate in or influence US elections in any way,” the statement concluded. “Americans decide America’s elections.”
The accusations followed a warning from US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra, who said Washington was closely watching Canadian political activities ahead of the November 3 congressional elections.
“We’re monitoring it, we’re evaluating it and if some of it becomes election interference then America will respond to it,” Hoekstra said.
Ottawa has rejected the allegations. Carney insisted that Canada’s measures were intended to protect its workers and businesses from American tariffs, while Ford denied any interest in meddling in US elections. Joly defended her meetings with American politicians as normal diplomacy, pointing out that she had engaged with both Republicans and Democrats.
The dispute comes amid deteriorating relations between the neighboring countries, driven by Trump’s sweeping tariffs and repeated suggestions that Canada should become America’s 51st state.
In September, Carney revealed that his government had examined the possibility of US military action against Canada, describing the scenario as an “extreme tail risk” that nevertheless warranted contingency planning. Ottawa, meanwhile, has been seeking closer military and economic ties with Europe to reduce its dependence on Washington.

The earthquake also triggered rockfalls that forced the closure of a major highway, while railway services were temporarily suspended for safety inspections. Communications were disrupted in parts of the affected region, complicating rescue operations.
Forecasters have warned of intermittent snowfall over the next three days, raising concerns about worsening conditions for survivors and emergency workers.
The latest disaster comes less than two months after a massive ice-and-rock avalanche near the Tibet-Nepal border unleashed catastrophic flooding, killing more than 1,450 people in Nepal and dozens in China.
Thursday’s tremor was the strongest to hit the Nagqu region in five years, according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV.
Authorities have warned that the casualty figures could rise as rescue teams continue searching damaged buildings and assessing the destruction.

The crackdown comes amid nationwide unrest, with even legally organized demonstrations facing new restrictions
French President Emmanuel Macron has announced a crackdown on public demonstrations, ordering authorities to ban protests deemed “illegitimate” and restrict even officially organized marches as nationwide unrest over soaring living costs and deteriorating public services continues.
The restrictions, announced Thursday following an emergency meeting with intelligence chiefs and senior ministers, come ahead of another wave of demonstrations planned for Saturday, after some of France’s worst street violence in years.
Macron said local authorities would prohibit gatherings organized by individuals or groups deemed to lack legitimate authority, while demonstrations arranged by recognized organizations, such as trade unions, would be considered for approval but could be forced onto alternative routes.
“The general recommendation is that there should be no demonstrations in the coming days,” Macron declared, insisting the measures were necessary to restore calm and protect businesses and public buildings.
“Last Saturday we had political and seditious acts by ultra-left groups whose aim is to bring down the Republic,” he claimed, accusing organized radicals of orchestrating violence and looting.
The announcement significantly tightens restrictions on public gatherings in a country where the right to protest is constitutionally protected. Under French law, authorities can prohibit demonstrations on public-order grounds, although such decisions must be proportionate and can be challenged in court.
A Paris administrative court overturned a police ban on a student demonstration on Thursday, allowing thousands of protesters to gather despite official objections. The rally proceeded peacefully under heavy police presence, according to AP.
However, authorities have already prohibited Saturday’s demonstrations in central Lyon, where hundreds of businesses were ransacked last weekend. Similar restrictions have been imposed in Marseille, Nice and Toulon. In Paris, one authorized march has been diverted away from the city center, while another involving students and members of the Yellow Vest movement has been banned.
France has been gripped by escalating unrest since protests over teacher shortages and deteriorating school conditions spread into a broader movement against rising prices, inequality and cuts to public services.
Around 550,000 people joined demonstrations last Saturday, which descended into clashes with police, arson and widespread looting. Nearly 2,500 people have since been arrested, while approximately 1,000 police officers and gendarmes were injured, according to figures reported by French media.
Opposition leaders have blamed Macron’s policies and failure to maintain order for the crisis. National Rally leader Marine Le Pen described him as a president “without credibility or authority” who has “lost all touch with reality,” while left-wing leader Jean-Luc Melenchon accused his government of undermining public services over the past decade.
Even police unions have turned against the administration. Alliance Police Nationale announced plans to sue the state, accusing officials of abandoning officers during the riots and failing to provide adequate equipment and clear instructions.
Macron has also clashed with US President Donald Trump, who blamed France’s turmoil on uncontrolled immigration and radical groups. The French leader dismissed comments by foreign politicians about the unrest as “stupid” and “unacceptable.”
The president is expected to chair another emergency defense council meeting on Friday to decide whether further restrictions are needed ahead of Saturday’s protests.
