Canada enhances border security in response to Trump tariff threat

Canada plans to enhance border security following Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs over illegal immigration and drug smuggling. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with provincial leaders to discuss a coordinated response to Trump's proposed 25 percent tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico. Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc indicated that additional investments in border security are being considered, though specific funding details were not provided. The US-Canada border, the longest in the world, has been criticized for its vulnerability to smuggling due to light security measures. The number of migrants crossing from Canada into the US has surged significantly, raising concerns among Canadian leaders. They emphasize the need for a proactive approach to border security to address both domestic and US concerns about illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
