Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says U.S. military intervention in Venezuela and Iran is part of a broader strategy to counter China’s reach around the globe.

Poilievre said Canada must decide how it fits into the American strategy and suggested strengthening ties with its southern neighbour for Canada’s economic and security benefit. He made the comments during a March 4 appearance on the Triggernometry podcast while visiting the U.K.
