Trump Tells Trudeau to “FIX THE BORDER”
President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on all Canadian exports if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau fails to secure the northern border.
Trump has given Trudeau two months’ notice: fix the border or face massive tariffs. On his Truth Social platform, Trump declared that he would issue an executive order imposing tariffs on all Canadian imports.
The danger exceeds the 10%-20% threat of tariffs that Trump campaigned on, and it stems from concerns unrelated to Chinese dumping.
“As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing crime and drugs at levels never seen before,” the newly elected leader wrote on Twitter.
“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% tariff on all products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous open borders.”
Tom Homan, Trump’s new border czar, is from western New York, just south of Kingston, and has extensive knowledge of the Canada-US border.
“There’s very little river patrol or lake patrol or road patrol, and so they had been overrun, and the problem with the northern border is a huge national security issue,” Tom Homan stated during a recent conversation.
While illegal immigration from Canada to the United States pales in contrast to what occurs along the Mexican-American border, the numbers are increasing.
Trump certainly has a purpose with his tariff threat against Trudeau; he wants action, according to Homan.
Tariffs will remain in effect until illegal aliens halt their invasion of our country!
“Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to resolve this long-standing issue easily,” Trump said, adding that failing to act will result in both countries paying a high price.
Canadians are concerned that the Trudeau government is unlikely to accomplish anything to save the country and its economy from the looming crisis.
Behind the scenes, Trudeau’s government is preparing for what many expect to be a difficult year. In January, Trudeau allegedly informed top Liberals that a second Trump administration would be “a magnitude more challenging” than the first.
Analysts believe this is more than just bluster; the stakes are real, with potential trade conflicts, increasing defense expenditure demands, and cross-border concerns that might compound Canada’s economic woes.
Trudeau is facing an uphill struggle, with polls indicating he will lose to a Conservative rival in an election next year. The domestic focus on inflation and economic woes means that any interruptions in US policy would exacerbate the concerns Trudeau must address.
