Stunned Trump Learns of Leaked War Plans: ‘They Had WHAT?
‘A serious, serious issue’: Canada’s Carney jabs Trump admin after war plans leak fiasco
US war plans leak shows Five Eyes allies must ‘look out for ourselves’, says Mark Carney
The United States cannot be trusted?
“Mistakes do happen, but what’s important is how people react to those mistakes,” Liberal leader needles Washington after a journalist received sensitive information about a bombing raid.
Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney rebuked the White House on Tuesday after sensitive American military plans were accidentally sent to a journalist on Signal.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard: “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat.” Vice Chair of Senate Intelligence Committee, Mark Warner: “So if there was no classified material, share it with the committee. You can’t have it both ways.”

Carney said the Five Eyes intelligence sharing network — which includes Britain, Australia and New Zealand as well as Canada and the U.S. — needs to learn lessons from the leak of intelligence, which saw the Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg mistakenly included on a private message chain about U.S. plans to bomb Yemen.
“When mistakes happen, and sensitive intelligence leaks, lessons must be learned to prevent that from recurring,” Carney said in Halifax, Nova Scotia, when asked about the fallout from the chat that discussed upcoming air strikes.
“It’s a serious, serious issue, and all lessons must be taken.” Carney was speaking during a stop on the second day of campaigning for Canada’s federal election in late April.
“We have a very strong intelligence partnership with the Americans through Five Eyes. Mistakes do happen, but what’s important is how people react to those mistakes,” he added.
“They don’t deny the mistakes; that they are clear and transparent in addressing them.”
Canada Invasion Plan Leaked!
The Atlantic’s report, published Monday, shocked national security officials and members of Congress.
POLITICO reported later that Mike Waltz, the national security adviser, may be the fall guy within the White House, though U.S. President Donald Trump expressed confidence in Waltz during an interview with NBC News Tuesday morning.
Trump on his cabinet members using Signal to text war plans to a reporter: “I don’t know anything about it. I’m not a big fan of The Atlantic, to me it’s a magazine that’s going out of business, I think it’s not much of a magazine. But I know nothing about it, you’re saying that they had what?”
Carney’s comments come with Canada-U.S. relations under severe strain as Trump threatens the country with tariffs and muses about annexing it as the 51st state.
Carney succeeded Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader and prime minister on March 9, but has yet to speak directly with Trump.
He has said he isn’t interested in talking to the president unless he shows respect for Canadian sovereignty.

Trump Is About to Be P***ed at Tulsi Gabbard’s Canada Admission
Gabbard struggled to defend one of Donald Trump’s main reasons for bullying Canada.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard absolutely—and accidentally—shredded Donald Trump’s phony reason for placing steep tariffs on Canada.
One month ago today…
During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Tuesday, Gabbard presented the Annual Threat Assessment, or ATA, about the dangers state and nonstate actors pose to the United States. In her opening statement, Gabbard emphasized the presence of foreign cartels and illicit drug trafficking as the most dire threat to national security—but notably didn’t mention Canada at all.
Canada’s absence in the report presents a stark contradiction to the Trump administration’s insistence that drug trafficking across the northern border presents a major threat to Americans. Trump has cited this excuse as part of his rationale for levying 25 percent tariffs on Canadian exports.
Senator Martin Heinrich asked Gabbard to explain why she hadn’t mentioned Canada in her report.
“Is the [Intelligence Community] wrong in its omission of Canada as a source of illicit fentanyl in the ATA? I was surprised, given some of the rhetoric, that there is no mention of Canada in the ATA,” the New Mexico Democrat pressed.
“Senator, the focus in my opening and the ATA was really to focus on the most extreme threats in that area. And our assessment is that the most extreme threat related to fentanyl continues to come from and through Mexico,” Gabbard replied.
“So, the president has stated that the fentanyl coming through Canada is massive, and actually said it was an “unusual and extraordinary threat,” and that was the language that was used to justify putting tariffs on Canada,” Heinrich said. “I’m just trying to reconcile those two issues. Is it an “unusual and extraordinary threat,” or is it a minor threat that doesn’t even merit mention in the Annual Threat Assessment?”
Gabbard said she couldn’t speak to the “specifics” of the threat posed by Canadian fentanyl trafficking.
Heinrich assured her that it accounted for “less than 1 percent” of the fentanyl seized by the U.S. government. “But if you have different information, I would very much welcome that,” he said.
The Trump administration has repeatedly referred to a terrifying 2,000 percent increase in drug trafficking over the U.S.-Canada border in the last year. But the reality is much less thrilling.
In 2023, only two pounds of fentanyl were seized at the northern border, and a total of 43 pounds of fentanyl were seized in 2024, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. As one NBC News reporter pointed out, that’s still “less than a carry-on suitcase.”
