Canada Increases Border Security Funding in Response to US Tariff Threats
BY Connect Newsroom, Nov 28, 2024 8:10 PM - REPORT AN ERROR
It is worth noting that Canada had previously downplayed the issue, asserting that it was confined to the Mexican side of the border.
Canada has decided to increase funding for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the RCMP to strengthen border security in response to US President Donald Trump's threat of tariffs. This funding will allow both agencies to further expand their personnel and resources at the border.
The announcement followed an emergency meeting between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and provincial premiers across Canada on Wednesday evening to discuss Trump's proposed tariffs and the future of Canada-US relations.
The meeting lasted about 90 minutes online, after which federal Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland provided information about the increased border funding.
However, they did not provide additional details or a timeline. LeBlanc stated that while Canada is already managing its borders more effectively, further steps are being taken.
