Last night we told you that President-elect Trump laid down the law to both Mexico and Canada about the countries allowing illegals to cross both our southern and northern borders, threatening to impose a tariff of 25% if they didn’t stop these illegals.
Not long after Trump made the announcement, he got a phone call from Canadian PM Justin Trudeau to discuss it. He reportedly suggested the problem is far worse at the southern border:
Shortly after Trump’s post, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau contacted the president-elect and the two leaders had a phone call to discuss border security and trade, according to a government official with knowledge of the matter.
Trudeau pointed out to Trump that the number of migrants who cross the Canadian border into the US is minuscule compared to those who cross from Mexico, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Canada said it’s working closely with US law enforcement agencies every day to disrupt the “scourge of the fentanyl coming from China and other countries,” according to a statement by Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland and Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc.
“Canada places the highest priority on border security and the integrity of our shared border,” the ministers said.
It’s also being reported this morning that Mexico’s president is now vowing to stop the massive migrant caravan from reaching the southern border. She is sending Trump a letter and reportedly read this letter on a live stream this morning at her event:
