"I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada," Trump said.

    Russia has long threatened Canada from the north, but Canada’s alliance with the USA deterred it from attacking. Now the USA is considering stealing Canada’s resources and gaining access to strategic Arctic waters, Russia will also know that Canada is vulnerable because the USA will no longer defend it. So now these two predators are circling Canada and may even be coordinating plans with one another.

      I extremely doubt that Trump would give any of Canada to Russia. Just because he wants Canada doesn’t mean he wouldn’t interfere with a Russian invasion, to the contrary. He would probably use it as a pretext to anex Canada, but either way that’s never gonna happen. Russia doesn’t have the strength to invade Canada and it would be immensely stupid to do so.

      While it sounds feasible, I wouldn’t think Russia has the leeway to flush more men into another losing invasion.
