The U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy for combating antisemitism is urging Canada to take new actions aimed at reducing rising anti-Jewish hatred. Speaking from Ottawa, the envoy calls on Canada to revoke visas in certain cases and to tighten screening procedures, arguing that visa privileges can enable individuals or groups associated with antisemitic activity to enter Canada. The envoy also asks Canada to expand its terrorism-related listings, suggesting that doing so would help limit the ability of extremist networks to operate and spread hateful ideology.
The request frames antisemitism as an issue that crosses borders and requires coordinated policy measures. The envoy’s proposals include both immigration-related steps—such as revoking visas—and legal or regulatory steps involving terrorism designations. In the articles provided, the key message is that Canada should use more restrictive measures to curb anti-Jewish hatred and prevent extremist-linked actors from gaining access.
No additional details about specific individuals, organizations, or proposed listing criteria are included in the provided excerpts.
