In response to President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods, Canada’s government has announced a C$1.3 billion plan to enhance border security. Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc outlined a multi-faceted approach aimed at disrupting the trade of fentanyl and illegal drugs while ensuring the smooth flow of goods. The plan includes increased surveillance, joint operations with U.S. law enforcement, and training for new detection teams. This initiative comes amid political tensions following the resignation of former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
