After being pushed into a corner by President Donald Trump’s decisive leadership, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came out Tuesday morning and agreed to work with him on border security. This comes right after Trump, showing true American strength, threatened a 25% tariff.
“I had a good call with Donald Trump. We talked about some of the challenges we can work on together. It was a good call, this is something we can do,” Trudeau told reporters.

On Monday, Trump announced that initiating a 25% tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada would be one of his first actions as president. This bold move addresses the negligence of Mexico and Canada in allowing crime and drugs to infiltrate our great nation.
“As everyone is aware, thousands of people are pouring through Mexico and Canada, bringing Crime and Drugs at levels never seen before,” he stated on TRUTH. “Right now a Caravan coming from Mexico, composed of thousands of people, seems to be unstoppable in its quest to come through our currently Open Border.”
Trump just announced a 25% tarrif on all Canadian products being shipped to the US. This will stay in force until Canada cracks down on our border to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the US.

“On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25% Tariff on ALL products coming into the United States, and its ridiculous Open Borders,” Trump continued.
“This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country! Both Mexico and Canada have the absolute right and power to easily solve this long simmering problem,” the president added. “We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!
