Both Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum have agreed to terms established by President Trump to combat drug trafficking and secure their perspective borders.
Mexico agrees to put 10,000 troops on the USA border to immediately begin security efforts. Canada agrees to bolster their 10,000-border patrol and security officers, establish a joint task force to combat organized crime, create a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl, and appoint a Fentanyl Czar.
Between the time of President Trump’s call with Mexico and President Trump’s call with Canada, Peter Navarro, President Trump’s Senior Trade Counselor, spoke to reporters outside the White House.
I live in a border state with Canada and all the local news media can’t contain themselves over the tariffs that President Trump wants to impose on Canada and Mexico saying it is going to be a hardship on our economy and that it will be more difficult for the migrants to enter, never mentioning that they are entering ILLEGALLY. That very well may be in the short term for the economy, but they fail to report WHY the tariffs are to take place. Not once do they mention that the reason is to stop the fentanyl from entering this country and to secure the border. They cannot see the forest because of the trees.
