U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to pause tariffs on Canada for 30 days after talking with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the afternoon of Feb. 3.
The agreement between two leaders entails Canada appointing a “fentanyl czar” and designating drug cartels as terrorists organizations.
In announcing the agreement on social media, Trudeau mentioned Canada’s previously announced $1.3 billion plan to boost border security, while saying around 10,000 frontline personnel will be working to protect the border.
The update came after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum reached a similar deal with Trump hours earlier, with the two agreeing to pause tariffs for 30 days while Mexico sends 10,000 troops to the border to stop the flow of fentanyl.
“I just had a good call with President Trump,” Trudeau said.
“Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.”
Trudeau also highlighted Ottawa’s $1.3 billion border plan introduced back in December, which included the creation of a new North American task force targeting organized crime and synthetic drug trafficking, as well as 24/7 border surveillance, and new funding for helicopters and drones.https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/trudeau-says-tariffs-paused-after-call-with-trump-5803578?utm_source=ref_share&utm_campaign=copy
Canada Has Gone Woke and It's About to Go Broke...
Not just Climate Alarmism and Gender Nonsense anymore.In a nation once defined by hard work, innovation, and shared prosperity, Canada is sleepwalking into fiscal and social ruin under the banner of performative “reconciliation.” We’ve seen the warning signs globally: companies like Bud Light hemorrhaging $1.4 billion in sales after its ill-fated Dylan Mulvaney campaign alienated core customers; Jaguar’s cringeworthy 2024 rebrand pushing electric cars and “inclusivity” that bombed so hard it was scrapped amid plummeting stock; Harley-Davidson retreating from DEI mandates after backlash from riders who just wanted motorcycles, not lectures. These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
