Trump threatens 25% tariff on Canadian goods over immigration concerns

President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from Canada, citing concerns over immigration and drug trafficking. This marks a shift in his approach, as he previously focused tariffs on China and Mexico. Trump's comments come amid a significant increase in illegal border crossings from Canada to the U.S., with arrests rising sharply over the past year. He claims that Canada shares similar immigration issues as Mexico, which has been a key focus of his administration. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded positively to Trump's remarks, emphasizing the strong trade relationship between the two countries. Canadian officials highlighted their commitment to border security and expressed willingness to collaborate on the issues raised by Trump.
