Poilievre urges Canada to enhance border security and cap asylum seekers amid U.S. tariff threats

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called for the Canadian government to develop a border security plan in response to U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threat of tariffs on Canadian goods. Poilievre's proposal includes increasing patrols and tightening visa rules. He also suggested capping the number of asylum seekers due to a rise in refugee claims. Trump's proposed tariffs could reach 25% unless Canada and Mexico address illegal border crossings and drug trafficking. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently met with Trump, discussing various issues, including trade and border security. The meeting was described as productive, but the potential tariffs remain a significant concern for Canada.
