Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised President-elect Donald Trump that Canada will tighten control on the common border, it has long been out of defense, a senior Canadian
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised President-elect Donald Trump that Canada will tighten control on the common border, it has long been out of defense, a senior Canadian official said Sunday.
Trudeau flew to Florida on Friday to have lunch with Trump, who has vowed to impose tariffs on Canadian imports if Ottawa doesn’t stop migrants and drugs crossing the border.
Canada sends 75% of all exports of goods and services to the United States, and tariffs would severely damage the economy.
Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who sat at the top table with Trudeau and Trump, said the two men discussed additional security measures Canada would introduce.
“We’re going to try to acquire, for example, additional drones, additional police helicopters, we’re going to redeploy personnel… we believe the border is secure,” he told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
“I think it’s important to show Canadians and Americans that we’re moving forward in a visible and decisive way, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do,” he added, promising more details in the coming days and weeks.
Canada will continue to argue that tariffs hurt both countries given the interconnectedness of their economies.
“I trust that the American people will understand that it is not in their interests … to continue to act in this way,” he said, describing the dinner meeting as very warm and cordial.
Trump said Saturday he discussed the border, trade and energy in a “very productive” meeting with Trudeau.
The friendly nature of the dinner contrasts with previous conversations between the two men.
