President-Elected Donald Trump may be trolling Canada and threatening damaging tariffs, but the U.S. and Canadian navies continue to work together patrolling potential trouble spots across the Pacific.
The Navy released a photo this week of the Royal Canadian Navy frigate HMCS Ottawa and the guided missile destroyer USS Higgins operating together in the South China Sea.
The Higgins was long based in San Diego, but was forward deployed to Yokosuka, Japan, in 2021.
“Operating alongside our Royal Navy partners shows a unified front,” said Capt. Justin Harts, commander of Destroyer Squadron 15. “We are committed to strengthening and demonstrating interoperability with our allies.”
During the patrol, the Higgins and the Ottawa conducted a range of training exercises, including maritime communications, anti-submarine warfare and coordinated maneuvering.
“The anti-submarine warfare, communications exercises and flying operations were seamless as usual, and occurred in the international waters of an area of the world where undisrupted movement of maritime trade is critical to the region and greater global community,” said Cmdr. Adriano Lozer, commanding officer of the Ottawa.
“This activity served once again to demonstrate how strong historic partners in defense at home and around the world, with enduring relationships that promote international law in a free and open Indo Pacific, can interchangeably play an active role in contributing to peace and security,” he added.
In recent weeks Trump has questioned whether Canada should become the 51st state and threatened to levy 25% tariffs on imports from our northern neighbor.
