The government of Saskatchewan has announced it will be beefing up security personnel at the U.S. border it shares with Montana and North Dakota, following President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to put a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods unless the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs through the border is stopped.

The province follows other Canadian jurisdictions, including Ontario and Alberta, which have created provincial plans to tighten borders with the United States.
