With incoming U.S. President Donald Trump threatening a 25 percent tariff against Canada, the federal government says it’s taking action to address border security concerns, including deploying more resources.
Meanwhile, the premiers and federal political parties have also proposed solutions. They are also asking the federal government to announce a plan on how the government will alleviate Trump’s concerns to avoid the tariffs.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau travelled to Florida on Nov. 29, where he met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago to discuss border security, cross-border drug trafficking, and trade between the two countries. While the conversations were described as positive by the two leaders, there was no announcement that Trump would cancel his plans to impose tariffs on Canada.
