Trump will also impose 25% tariff sanctions on Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an emergency trip to the United States to meet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida to discuss drug smuggling, trade and other issues.
Trump has been naming and claiming that drugs and crime mainly enter the United States through the Mexican and Canadian borders. The two countries transport drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States, causing serious social problems in the United States. Last Monday, Trump announced that he would impose a 25% tariff on all products imported from the two countries until the problem of illegal immigrants crossing the border can be ended. In response to this issue, when CNN interviewed President Biden for his opinions, Biden stuttered and said that Trump should not tie the two countries to the drug and illegal immigration problems in the United States. Biden's principle of not dealing with border immigration issues during his term is also regarded as the main key to the Democratic Party's defeat this time.
Trump told Trudeau that the U.S. government will no longer stand by while our citizens become victims of drugs. Trudeau promised to work with the United States to solve the problem at the dinner and told reporters after the meeting that he had a very pleasant conversation with Trump.
Photos released from the dinner show Trump and Trudeau smiling at the camera. Also at the table were Howard Lutnick, who was appointed as the next commerce secretary, and Mike Waltz, who was chosen by Trump to be his national security adviser. Even though it was peaceful on the surface, and Trudeau, who was followed by the media all the way, always showed an amiable and sweet smile, the leaders of the United States and Canada knew very well that this was a banquet without a good banquet.
Esteban Moctezuma Barragán , spokesman for the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs , said that the Mexican government actively handles immigrants seeking political asylum. The U.S. authorities do not only see the problem of illegal immigration, but must realize that Mexican factories produce a large number of products for the United States. Mexico and The United States should maintain the Win Win status quo, not the Lose Lose status.
Canada, like the United States, is a country of immigrants. When Trump was elected president of the United States last time, Canada's immigration website experienced a surge in traffic and crashed. Canadians even joked that they should build a wall to prevent Americans from climbing into Canada (Trump Trump once said he would build a wall to prevent illegal Mexican immigrants from entering the United States).
When the Sikh leader was assassinated in Vancouver, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau supported the Sikhs who immigrated to Canada and turned against the Indian government. Coupled with Canada's unemployment and drug problems, his reputation plummeted. Now that Canada has been targeted by Trump again, Trudeau, who was once regarded as the youngest and most promising prime minister of the country, is on pins and needles facing domestic and foreign troubles.
