U.S. President Donald Trump said Canada’s efforts to tighten security at the border are “not good enough,” a day after triggering a North American trade war. Trump spoke to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday and the two leaders discussed “trade and fentanyl,” according to a readout from the Prime Minister’s Office. “Both countries will continue to be in contact today,” the readout adds.
All eyes are on Washington after Trump slapped a sweeping 25 per cent tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods.Trump said in a post Wednesday on his Truth Social platform that Trudeau called to ask him what can be done about the tariffs.
“I told him that many people have died from Fentanyl that came through the Borders of Canada and Mexico, and nothing has convinced me that it has stopped,” Trump wrote. “He said that it’s gotten better, but I said, ‘That’s not good enough.’ The call ended in a ‘somewhat’ friendly manner!”
Trump went on to write in another post he told Trudeau that he largely caused the problems the U.S. has with Canada because of his “weak border policies.” Source. Globalnews.ca
