Canada is studying adding more resources and personnel to its US border after a Mar-a-Lago dinner between President-elect Donald Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau aimed at heading off a tariff fight.
In a pair of social media posts, Trump and Trudeau struck upbeat tones, with Trump calling the meeting “very productive” and saying Trudeau pledged action. Trump has threatened a 25% tariff on American imports from Canada and Mexico unless the neighbors each do more to stem migration and fentanyl.
