Canada-US Relations: Recently, America’s newly elected President Donald Trump had announced that he will increase tariff charges on Canada, China and Mexico. After this, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reached Florida to meet Trump, where he met him regarding the implementation of tariffs. An officer has shared this information on the condition of anonymity. Let us tell you that earlier this week, Trump had promised to impose additional tariffs on Canada and Mexico as well as China. He had said that he would impose 10 percent additional tariff on goods coming from China and 25 percent tariff on all products from Canada including Mexico.
Trump’s talk of imposing tariffs to curb global trade flows after the presidential election has shaken the markets. Because of this the Canadian dollar fell. Yesterday, when the Canadian PM met Trump, he said that the number of Canadian immigrants coming to America is much less as compared to the immigrants coming from Mexico. For this reason it is not right to impose tariffs on them. Apart from this, we are also working with America to deal with dangerous drugs like fentanyl. For this reason they need to think carefully.

The amount of fentanyl seized at the Mexican border since the beginning of 2022 is nearly 1,000 times the amount seized at the Canadian border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. Still, Trudeau is under domestic pressure to increase border security and defense spending to address Trump’s concerns. Doug Ford, the leader of Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, said after a meeting of the premiers and prime ministers that he has been pressing Trudeau for months to show that Canada will work to address U.S. economic and security concerns .
