NextImg:Canadian official says country will improve border security - Washington Examiner

Canada will increase border security after President-elect Donald Trump‘s meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, one top official from the Great White North said.

Trump met with Trudeau in Florida over the holiday weekend after threatening a 25% blanket tariff on all products imported from north of the border, unless action was taken to curb the flow of illegal drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States. The president-elect also made a tariff threat against Mexico.

Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc told CBC News on Sunday that measures have been taken to secure the U.S.-Canadian border, but it is important to step up border security in a “visible and muscular way.”

“We also discussed additional measures and visible measures that we were going to put in place over the coming weeks,” LeBlanc told the Canadian news outlet.

“There’s already hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars spent, but we’re going to take additional measures, and I’ll have more to say with the minister of finance in the coming days or weeks,” LeBlanc added.

The Canadian official also said that he and Trudeau raised concerns about guns being smuggled from the U.S. into Canada during the weekend meeting at Mar-a-Lago and that they “talked about the challenge that fentanyl represents in Canada,” which he noted are “shared objectives.”

LeBlanc also told the outlet that he spoke with Howard Lutnick, Trump’s pick for treasury secretary, about what the proposed tariffs would mean to Canada and the economy and that he and Lutnick have discussed getting together again in the coming weeks to discuss the issues further.

Trudeau said he had an “excellent conversation” with Trump during the meeting.

Trump called it a “very productive meeting” with Trudeau and said the Canadian prime minister has “made a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation of U.S. Families” on the fentanyl crisis.
