WASHINGTON – The U.S. State Department has directed its embassies in Canada and other Western nations to scrutinize the impacts of mass migration, marking the Trump administration’s latest push to reshape the geopolitics of America’s longtime allies.

Last week’s dispatch to embassies directed diplomats in Ottawa, New Zealand, Australia and countries in western Europe to report on the human rights implications and public safety impacts of “mass migration.”

The State Department says officials will “urge governments to take bold action and defend citizens against the threats posed by mass migration.”

A senior State Department official speaking on background says the United States is not trying to tell other countries how to govern but rather is cautioning nations about importing a lot of people from what it claims are “radically different” cultures.

U.S. President Donald Trump has long been critical of Europe’s immigration policies, and Vice-President JD Vance recently took aim at Canada.

In a social media post on Friday, Vance linked what he called Canada’s “stagnating living standards” to “immigration insanity.”
