Trump threatens tariffs on Canada over drug and migration issues
President-elect Donald Trump has threatened a 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico until fentanyl and undocumented migrants are reduced at the U.S. border. Canada plans to enhance border security and emphasizes cooperation with U.S. authorities. Recent U.S. data shows that most fentanyl seizures occur at the U.S.-Mexico border, with only 1.8 pounds seized monthly from Canada. Canadian officials acknowledge the issue but stress their commitment to addressing drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Canada is tightening its immigration system amid rising temporary resident numbers. The government is discussing new technologies and resources to improve border security, while also addressing concerns about organized crime at its ports.
