Trump tells Trudeau to fix Canada's border — or he will!
If Canada does not curb illegal immigration and drug trafficking, a 25% tariff will be levied on Trump's first day of office.

Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, President-elect Donald Trump has threatened Canada with crippling tariffs, should they not address their porous borders.
If Canada and Mexico do not curb illegal immigration and drug trafficking into America, a 25% tariff on all goods will be levied on Trump's first day of office. The tariff will remain in place until those issues are resolved.
It's amazing how Trump gets the desired effect on foreign policy over social media — even before he's in office. Not not even by phone call — just by tweets.
Trudeau discusses his call with Trump after the President-elect said he would impose 25% tariffs on Canadian products over the porous border.

As reported by CBC News, Prime Minister Trudeau phoned Trump last night, claiming Canada has addressed U.S. concerns by strengthening visa requirements on Mexicans, and reducing immigration targets. He also clarified that less than 1% of border crossers entering the U.S. illegally came from Canada.
Nevertheless, Tom Homan, Trump's incoming border czar, has repeatedly called out Canada for allowing foreigners into the country, who sponsor terror.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recently warned of tougher border measures with Canada after intercepting over 1,200 terror suspects attempting to cross the northern border since 2020. The agency urged Canada to implement required changes or face prompt consequences.

Despite the looming sanctions, and pending economic ruin, Trudeau claims he was ‘surprised’ by the tariff announcement, earning criticism from Poilievre.
“Amazingly, everyone else knew something like this could be coming because President Trump had been talking about it for years on the campaign trail,” he said Monday.

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-27 03:25:23 -0500Trudeau probably didn’t mention the tariffs because he needs to call his boss Klaus Schwab and get his marching orders first. As for PP, Trump’s threat was not unjustified. Anyone who watched Trump’s first term knows that he levied large tariffs on the CCP because the CCP would not lower their tariffs/NTBs on U.S. products. If Trudeau doesn’t close the border, the tariffs will be very much justified. How much did Biden cost Canada when he shut down the XL Pipeline project? How much is Trudeau costing Canadians every day by his stupid policies on forced electricity. Many of Canada’s current problems are a result of lost income because of the policies of Biden and Trudeau.

Howard Mirkin commented 2024-11-27 03:00:33 -0500Trump wants the best for every country, and believes that all national leaders should want to put their countries first. What people in any country want their leaders to put them lower than first? However, too many countries like Canada have pathetic, globalist losers for leaders who care only about power and prestige, not giving a tinker’s damn about their people.

Stacey Underwood commented 2024-11-26 21:50:54 -0500Shake, Rattle, & Roll is President Trump’s Normal MO when shaking-up the establishment. He is very much aware of the continuing situation with both the US-Canada Border, as well as the porous condition with the US-Mexico Border. President Biden worked with the Canadian & Mexican Governments to facilitate the border mess that we currently have. I might add that President Trump did make prior statements in advance of this turn of events that “mass deportations will take place”, and not long after, Prime Minister Trudeau said that “[he] would welcome those fleeing the US” in order to escape being sent-back home when they are deported from the US. I would think that a warning regarding the grave-potential train wreck ominously steaming on its way north would prove valuable to everyone concerned—no matter on what side one finds themselves residing.
